Maine Network Meeting

The next Local Contexts Maine Network meeting will be held December 5.

For this meeting, the Local Contexts team will give a demonstration of the Local Contexts Hub. The Local Contexts Hub is a website that facilitates the application of the Labels and Notices. We suggest signing up for the sandbox Hub prior to your session so you can bring specific questions with you.

Current members of the Network should have an email and calendar invite with connection details. If you are interested in the group, you can read more and submit your interest on our Working Groups and Networks page.

The purpose of the Local Contexts Maine Network is to connect Indigenous community members/citizens, institution and organization staff, and others located in/with connections to Maine who are interested in Local Contexts to see how we can together support momentum and interest for Local Contexts in the region through regular virtual meetings.
