Yes we do have a global organization and a very effective "association". We all associate with the word "coworking". For such a vastly diverse group of people this is more then enough. This is beautiful. Our success in Seattle is amplified because of our association with all of you. We express our appreciation for this group by giving back in every way we can.
Can we collectively do more? Yes, but it can't be all in the same direction. We have exploded on the world because we are going in all directions, and quickly. It is also important to note that there is more then enough energy in this movement to overcome any need for efficiency. We have many tools to work with and we can be most effective if we use and appreciate each one for its strengths. Globally we are bridging the connections between all of us. Locally we bond together and get things done. We are united. We are Coworking. Each one of us can take that home and set a damn good example of what we *personally* believe that means.
