Policy Committee Slack Guideline

The Recycle Colorado Policy Committee has developed a new sector rep plan to help improve communication between policy committee members, policy leadership, board members and staff. The plan includes utilizing a new form of communication platform called “Slack”. Slack is an online and desktop platform that allows individuals from various organizations and businesses to communicate through a dedicated platform outside of email and searchable by members.
