Here's a look back at what happened at the Hub in March 2024.
Muffin Monday: Race to 100! (March 25)
Muffin Monday is a monthly Members-only networking event with complimentary breakfast. Each month a new theme is chosen, and collaboration and continued conversation are encouraged.
This month's theme was Open Gov Hub's "Race to 100" campaign! We celebrated the first time in the Hub's history that we would have 100 active Members at the same time. Our "Historic Hundred" was announced at our Spring Open House on April 25.
Networking at Save the Children (March 21)
This month's networking session brought us to the headquarters of Save the Children. Hub fellow Rodah Tiir, who works for Save the Children in South Sudan, was able to provide direct feedback to Program Managers!

Imago Global Grassroots Book Launch (March 7)
Our friends from Imago Global Grassroots held a highly successful book launch of "Scaling Up Development Impact" on March 7. Close to 100 people attended the panel discussion and book signing. Grab your copy here.
Open Data Leaders meetup, March 2024
Open Data Leaders Meetup (March 6)
Long-time Hub Member Center for Open Data Enterprise (CODE) hosted a Meetup event for their Open Data Leaders group. This was the group's first post-pandemic meetup, and with a turnout of over 40, we'd consider it highly successful! New connections were made, and another meetup is planned soon.
Did you know the Open Data Leaders meetup has over 1,000 members?
New Member Orientation & Coworking Day (March 5)
On the first Tuesday of every month, the Hub celebrates our new Members with an orientation and then a Happy Hour. Fatbardh Kabashi, IREX Fellow and Hub ally, led everyone in a quick energizer during Happy Hour!
In honor of Employee Appreciation Day (March 1), Open Gov Hub hosted a complimentary coworking day on March 5, 2024. New friends and Hub Members were treated to $25 headshots from resident photographer Briana. The event was such a great success that we hope to host another coworking and headshots day soon!
