Public innovators are individuals with the mindset and skills to catalyze and drive productive change in communities and change how communities work together. We\u2019ll also grow our Public Innovators Corps to 100,000 members \u2013 individuals who actively support this new direction and use our approach to better their communities, organizations and lives.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Assuming no overlap, that would be 120,000 people. I admire the scale of these efforts. Of course, there are many more people already at work in civic networks&#8211;but additions are always welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know much more about these efforts than what I read online, but they represent an interesting confluence: From Idealist.org: &#8220;The big day is almost here!
