Story
Our Mission
We are a collaborative think tank where we create actionable ideas and clear pathways for rebuilding a better future from the best of what came before. - Christine Merser
2025 cleared the playing field. What has always been is gone. This point in history is a pivotal moment for charting a course to the future.
Slate l Spark is a modern course setter where ideas become action. Founded by Christine Merser, it was built on a simple belief that yesterday no longer determines tomorrow. Our mission has become clear. We create actionable plans for the new world rising from the best of what used to be.
The name reflects our work. The slate is where we clear space for fresh thinking. The spark is where ideas catch fire and move into motion. Slate l Spark brings together thinkers, writers, and strategists who believe collaboration is the most powerful form of intelligence.
As Christine Merser says, “We’re here to build what comes next, not repair what’s been.” We are determined to clear pathways for moving forward and rebuilding a better future.
Team Slate l Spark
Our team gathers around the circular table of collaboration. Each person brings something essential to the success of whatever sits at the center of that table. Everyone is responsible for their specialty within any project. It’s collaboration. Always.
