Welcome to the Pledge 1% Sydney Forum! I can't wait to connect with all of our wonderful, Australian Pledge 1% peers, to chat more about what we do at Atlassian Foundation, find out more about what you do with your business and your giving, and share knowledge and opportunity.   Atlassian Foundation was created to tackle disadvantage on a global scale and in our own backyards. As a company, we contribute 1% of our equity, profit, employee time and products to the Foundation as part of our commitment to Pledge 1%.   So we can all get to know each other, as you join this group please do a little intro post/ comment, answering the below (you can cut-and-paste):   🏢 Do you work remotely, or in the office? 💼 What's your role in the company (title, and what do you actually do day-to-day)? 💰 What Pledge types does your company do? 💛 What's the social impact cause closest to your heart? 📣 If you could give a shoutout to one other person or company who is doing social impact well, who would it be?   I'll leave mine in the comments below, and I look forward to connecting soon 😀   (If you're a face-to-face person, feel free to make a time with me HERE to chat more about what we do at Atlassian, and the programs we run for social impact teams)   ...

Hi hi my wonderful #Sydneysiders - announcing that 📚 SOCIAL IMPACT BOOK CLUB IS LIVE! 📚 We are very excited to say that our first session is now LIVE to register (link in comments) for Sept 12, and we will be discussing Lean Impact by Ann Mei Chang 🤩 The format we have chosen does NOT rely on you needing to have read the book each time, you are still able to attend, gather the key learnings, and participate in the Q&A/ discussion to increase practitioner knowledge. Format below: - Fully online book club, meets every 2 months (with summer break) - Books announced prior to sessions to allow time to purchase & read - Each session has a volunteer to lead it - volunteer picks the book (must be social impact aligned, non-fiction) - First 5-10 mins of the meeting is a casual chat/icebreaker - The volunteer will present for 15 (ish) mins on the book - key learnings, takeaways, their thoughts (this can be as structured/unstructured as you wish) - Other participants are encouraged to add questions into the chat - Volunteer presenter will answer questions/ start the conversation from there Please register if you are free to attend, and please also let us know if you are interested in hosting a future session with a Social Impact text of your choice: https://events.humanitix.com/social-impact-book-club-1-lean-impact-by-ann-mei-chang   @melanie-vtx @jencains @BijalSolanki @KateK @Olivia Tyler @msheargold @Sebastian_Robertson @Shrav  ...

Hi Sydney pals! Just checking in with the group around SXSW Sydney.a   Did anyone in this channel went last year/ is looking to go this year, and what are your thoughts on social impact as a topic being discussed? I'm trying to work out if we prioritise attending and organise a Pledge meetup, or if it's better to head over to the India CSR Conference: https://indiacsrsummit.in/index.php?p=home   Keen to hear your thoughts! @Shrav @KateK @BijalSolanki @melanie-vtx    ...
