OSB team members Meaghan Kennedy and Michaela Bonnett, joined by Teri Garstka, will present a talk at the 2024 Sunbelt Conference focused on a model for Technology-Enabled Community Resilience (TECResilience), based on their work across diverse networks, communities and ecosystems.

This model leverages technology as a catalyst for enhancing community connectivity and resilience through a four-stage process, incorporating continuous feedback and refinement.
