The Hive seeks to draw in members of both IDEAS Chapters at the local level and members of the general community. In name, The Hive represents a bee hive and the bees are the attendees of the event. The “bees” gather at the Hive and formulate an action plan to address a global problem with a local solution. Everyone disperses afterwards until the next action project or planning meeting to work on the task at hand. The primary goal of The Hive is to accomplish action projects in a community through a crowd sourced ideas.
