Rainier Valley Economic Bootstrapping is an open meeting conference. Open meetings are a forum in which any participant can propose a topic, lead a discussion, gather others ideas and draw together others interested in pursuing action steps to move forward.
While no formal conference presentations are announced in advance, we encourage people to post ideas on this site's discussion board, or contact us with ideas. Here's what we have so far:
