A new peer-driven community called FLOC (Future Leaders of Coworking) has launched to support early to mid-career professionals in the coworking industry. Founded by industry peers (Sam Shea, Blaize Randell, Luke Willis and DeShawn Brown) FLOC aims to foster collaboration, innovation, and leadership development among the next generation of coworking professionals.

The community offers a network of passionate individuals, opportunities for collaboration and growth, and a supportive environment for developing leadership skills. FLOC is currently seeking nominations for its inaugural membership class.
