I also highly recommend this repair summit if you want to host repair events or tools at your libraries!
My apologies for any typos; I'm replying on my phone with mischievous fingertips.

Summit Save the Date!
With last year’s loss of funding, various delays, and general uncertainty, it was unclear if we’d be able to host another Summit. 😢
BUT, we have a bright spot of news to share!
Thanks to a generous sponsorship from the
WA Department of Ecology’s Recycling Market Development Center<https://repaireconomywa.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=baa6a102319a1b6632446f20a&id=e5014a44ba&e=323a07a230>, we’re able to move forward with planning this year’s gathering!
And in keeping with the longstanding goal of crafting a Summit that reflects our vibrant network of repair, share, and reuse practitioners, we’ve shifted the name a bit. So…
Mark Your Calendars
Repair & Share Summit: Building the Care Economy
March 19th (full day) & 20th (half day)
We’re still working out exact timing but are hoping to enable both our US and global colleagues to attend at least part of the event.
As in years past, we’ll do our best to make recordings and materials available to everyone who registers. 🤞
We’ll be sharing more details as soon as we can, but for now go ahead and pencil in those dates!
We can’t wait to see, share, and dream with you!

Repair Reuse Network Needs Survey
What resources would help you or your group flourish?
Shared admin? Fiscal sponsorship? Legal guidance?
…or simply some kind soul willing to deal with
your dreaded FB account?
We could probably make some pretty educated guesses but it’d be better to hear it straight from the proverbial horse’s mouth!
