- Reminder: The Open Innovation team has just released CPG Enforcement - Foundational Training - a self-study course that will provide Mozillians with foundational knowledge required to respond to situations and circumstances with potential risk to individuals, and the organization as a whole. This includes knowledge of people, resources and tools in place to support your success, safety and wellbeing.
- It’s like a First Aid course for building healthy communities and workspaces. We hope we won't need it, but if we do - it will make a real difference to someone's experience of Mozilla.
Notes from the last Executive Team weekly meeting
- 2020 planning - The executive team has drafted a set of org-wide objectives that tie to the short-term outcomes in the theory of change. Discussed initial criteria to consider during prioritization and to share with directors, as that final interrogation and prioritization will happen on Dec 4-5 in Toronto in person with the full leadership team.
- Fundraising update - Jessie Keating joined for the second half of the call to share a monthly fundraising update. Broadly discussed year-end grassroots fundraising plans, checked-in on our major donor efforts, and expectations for marketing campaigns.
