NETWORK ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE

Heirs To Our Ocean operates with a Network Organization structure, which allows our multigenerational team to work together in a holistic way to achieve our progressive mission. Our organization thrives through mutual support, as we collectively pursue our higher purpose. We are flexible, creative, and responsive within our dynamic, evolving “system.” Every aspect, department, or “node” of Heirs To Our Ocean is interconnected through liaisons, ensuring effective communication, information sharing, and relationship building as we work together toward our vision of a more just and healthy world. As our system grows, the nodes and links will expand within it.
