Star Wars fans—this post is for you. And anyone exploring new partnerships—this post is also for you!
When the first teaser trailers for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens hit the internet in 2015, I was gleeful. More Star Wars! Yes, please.

2. Growing the Organization: Choosing a Distributed Workforce
-
By Vignetta Charles, PhD | April 3, 2018
ETR is a national organization—one with global aspirations. You might not have guessed this if you’d peeked in on one of our all-staff meetings a few years back.

-
By Sue Potter, MS | November 28, 2017
I’m with the “away team.” For the last several years, I’ve been part of ETR’s Distributed Workforce. Roughly one in five staff are located away from our organization’s main offices in Scotts Valley, Oakland and Sacramento, California. You’ll find us in other regions of California and in other states across the country. I live in Boston.
It hasn’t always been easy being one of the remote staff. But we’re an organization that believes in continuous improvement.

Heard any good stories lately? Particularly about the work you do and the positive impact your organization has in the world?
Here at ETR, we’ve been thinking about these kinds of stories ever since we read Joan Singson’s blog post on Storytelling for Sustainability. We decided to do an all-staff activity where we explored some of the stories we have to tell about ETR’s work.

-
By Dan McCormick, MHA | June 8, 2015
Have you noticed that the pace of change is accelerating? Of course! We all have. And we're hearing about it over and over, with greater and greater frequency. “Be agile.” “Pivot quickly.” “Re-invent yourself.”
But how do we put these slogans to work to improve our organizations?
I believe one of the best ways to successfully navigate today’s world of high-velocity change is to create and sustain high-vitality organizations.
