Ted Rau is an Operational leader at SoFA. Ted spends most of his time training and consulting in sociocracy and leading SoFA as an organization. Ted is co-author of the sociocracy handbook Many Voices, One Song. He enjoys writing articles, and teaching meeting facilitation. People and their universal need to connect and move things are at the center of his attention. He pays attention to the co-housing movement, transgender rights, and non-violent communication.
Sociocracy for All envisions a world in which people engage together to meet their individual and collective needs in an equitable way, with respect for all living beings. SoFA’s mission, is to promote sociocracy locally and globally as a sustainable way of governance. This is done by: generating communities of practice and innovating, making decisions together, sharing what we learn, and inspiring each other through accessible and transferable materials, training, and resources.
