Welcome to the Transition Massachusetts networking and information site. Your background in organizing can be put to good use in any local Transition initiative you may join.
Another great benefit of membership on this site is the exchange of ideas found in the Forum. As site administrator I encourage everyone to follow these discussions and to participate. To learn how to most easily follow discussions on the Forum, please read my post (in the Forum) titled "Let's Strengthen our Transition Massachusetts community." Click here to view that post directly. Implementing the simple changes described will make it easier to follow and participate in the conversations on this site.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
