Dear Open Space Colleague: I have initiated a scholarship fund for increasing the diversity of people participating in Open Space trainings. I ask your help in growing this fund.
I feel it is crucially important to expand the use of Open Space in communities, neighborhoods, non-profits organizations and schools throughout the world. I am particularly committed to ensuring that our cadre of experienced facilitators be multi-ethnic, multi-racial, from all economic backgrounds-- as diverse as the world we live in. Many of the people I seek to attract haven't the means to afford the fees we charge for the trainings, even though those fees are less than comparable offerings to the corporate sector. So, in the hopes that you share my intention, I ask you to match my donation of $100.00, or to give more if you can do so. I fully intend to add to my donation in the future as well. Please make out your check to: the Open Space Institute. Send it to me at: Anne Stadler 18468 47th Place NE Seattle, WA 98155 and I will pass it along. (I would like to know who responds to my request, so I can thank you personally.) It is a tax-deductible donation. If you wish to contact me I can be reached at annes...@uswest.net or 206-364-3317. I am assured by Peg Holman that the Open Space Institute will keep track of donations received from each region of the country, and she will distribute funds accordingly. Thank you for your help!! Sincerely yours, Anne Stadler annes...@uswest.net
