Led by Dr. Adam Jennings and Jason Theunissen, Wildemont offers expertise in process optimization, outreach planning, organizational design, sales, and digital marketing. Their approach involves Wildemont Basecamp, a comprehensive data collection and analytics exercise, to clearly define our current state and identify opportunities for improvement.

This program is being sponsored by Jeremy Simon and Jon Schull, cofounders of the e-NABLE volunteer community. We will help to oversee the work being completed and will provide reports to the community about their progress and results during our weekly Town Hall meetings.

Amount of funding being requested:

$1980 per month with a 6-month renewable contract duration, paid at the start of each quarter. Total amount being approved initially would be $11,880, with $5,940 paid upon contract initiation and $5,940 paid after the completion of the first 3 months.

The services being offered are already ensconced in the way the eNable works.

I seem to be in the Loomio system twice. I voted "YES" using my new email and it was recorded, but I also could vote using my old email...which I did not do.

@Bob Rieger You're a gentleman and a scholar, Bob! (And that's a potentially important point for clarification in the voting "bylaws", Jeremy)

Adam is truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly support the proposal that his involvement in any undertaking can have a profound impact. Undoubtedly, his presence not only enhances but also optimizes and streamlines various processes, leading to increased efficiency and success.

I meant to share this last week. Here's a recording of the portion of last week's Town Hall meeting in which we discussed some of the comments on this proposal, including how to handle success metrics: https://www.youtube.com/live/C0xWW2nXkzE?feature=share&t=745
