 As reported earlier, AFOC formed digital connection committee in March. We were awarded a digital inclusion information project grant and completed a digital inclusion information project in June.

Our stakeholder partners included 125 Live, Age Friendly Oronoco, Elder Network, Intercultural Mutual Assistance Association, and Rochester Public Library.

Yesterday, the state released its draft Digital Opportunity Plan. (Copy attached.)

 Family Service Rochester will be hosting one of the public comment sessions on September 6th, 3:30pm – 5:30pm at our main office 4600 18th Ave NW. There are also two virtual sessions scheduled. (Flyer attached.)

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:

  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
