It’s nice to see this level of strategic leadership—thank you for sharing your plans. In my view, one of the top priorities for sustainable growth is attracting and retaining participants who have both strong commitment to altruistic causes and also the knowledge and good judgment to advance effective approaches. Perhaps we could start a focused discussion on EA Groups Slack about practical steps on how to improve outreach and bring in people who will genuinely strengthen the movement.
On a related note, I have a proposal (with some valuable inputs from @David_Moss) for a new event format designed to deepen connections in the EA community. In short, it’s retreat-style gatherings in informal settings during holidays (like Cyprus) that will feature plenty of open-ended social time, to spark fresh ideas and foster collaboration. Such interactions often build the kind of relationships that sustain long-term commitment. We prepared a detailed concept and I’d be glad to discuss this in more detail with CEA team how it can be piloted to complement existing EA Global events.
Thank you for the kind words about my input Alex! I should clarify for others though that Alex is being too generous. I’ve only commented on a draft of theirs, the project is all their work.
