Goals

1. By March 2026 the SWC LPGC will draft and set how the committee makes decisions as a group, this decision making paradigm must be passed by consensus.
2. By the end of 2026, add 1 intermediate workshops to the official SWC curriculum from the incubator and create a pipeline for how we add lessons/workshops going forward.
3. Each year the SWC GC reviews 3-5 lessons from the curriculum, with a critical eye to bigger changes that might be needed.
