At the heart of Common Cause Australia is a growing network of over 2,000 passionate people applying Common Cause in their personal and professional lives. You can join us by signing up here and then heading over to our Facebook group to connect and discuss all things Common Cause.

Our resident values experts Eleanor Glenn, Mark Chenery and Angela Rutter also work with organisations large and small to put values and frames into practice. If you'd like help applying the Common Cause approach get in touch.

​​Eleanor’s background is in environmental policy and advocacy, with more recent work in campaign analysis and advice.
​
​Her fascination with what makes people tick led to a PhD in climate change communications and engagement. She has since supported the Australia Remade collaboration and many organisations across health, human rights, the arts and more to put values and frames into practice.

Eleanor revels in big picture thinking and making big dreams come true. She recently returned from world sailing adventures with her husband Fil and son Aiden.

​In 2012, while heading up ActionAid Australia's Community Engagement team, Mark co-founded the Common Cause Australia network and has since trained over a thousand non-profit staff and volunteers in values-based community engagement. 

​When he's not talking about values and frames, Mark is exploring his new home town of Canberra, drinking good coffee, running amongst the local wildlife or simply kicking back with his wife Danielle and daughters Sophia and Phoenix.
