I worked for BrisLETS for nearly 3 years as President. It was a great learning experience, putting my community administration qualifications (Associate Diploma in Aboriginal Community Administration, 1988) into practice and developing the civic skills for community building. A summary of my learning is in this article called A Viable Rival Currency.
I am particularly motivated to lend my support to mutual credit systems. I suspect that Mutual Credit on the Holochain is the best direction for the future.
Lasting achievements include:
- An improved website
- A new logo
- An improved management structure
- A permanent home for trading days
- A system to localize trade and meetings through subdivision mapping
- Celebration of 30 years of BrisLETS
- See 2018: a year in review for more details
