Put Your Event on the Leading Edge of Growth with a Keynote or Workshop by Storm.

Three massive, crucial, global trends are converging: 1) restorative development, 2) citizen leadership, and 3) crowd technology.
The result is an explosion of crowd-powered, citizen-led renewal.

Tired of seeing large, expensive redevelopment projects fail to spark revitalization? Tired of NIMBYism and passive or angry stakeholders?
Successful community renewal is now flowing bottom-up, not top-down.

Help your audience become leaders of faster, more-harmonious community, regional, organizational, or business growth. Call 1-202-684-6815 or email storm@recitizen.org to schedule Storm for your event.

In 2014, ReCivilizing will be the first book to document the surprising ways that crowd technologies renew cities, nature, democracy, & livelihoods.
