Hi Chris, Thanks for the thought, but as much as it would be nice to participate in this event, I'm already committed elsewhere in July :-) Best, Karen Karen Sella www.luminacoaching.com <http://www.luminacoaching.com/> 206.780.2998 -----Original Message----- From: OSLIST [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Knickerbocker, Christina Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 6:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: FW: NCCI Call For Proposals You may not be familiar with this organization, but a lot of what these practitioners do is facilitate meetings of like minded folks at higher education institutions who are looking to develop something new, or get to the root of an issue that is messing up a process. As a member of NCCI and a newbie to Open Space I think that you should consider submitting a proposal-plus the conference is in Hawaii!!!

Call for Proposals Seventh Annual National Conference Honolulu, Hawaii July 7-9, 2006 Collaborative Solutions --> Plan*Implement*Assess*Lead! The NCCI Annual Conference Program Committee invites your contribution to Collaborative Solutions.the theme of our conference and the key to organizational and academic excellence in higher education! We are looking for people willing to share their knowledge and experience, drawn from successful projects, seasoned approaches, innovative organization design, or valuable lessons learned. Any stage of an improvement effort is appropriate -- planning, implementation, or assessment -- as is the role of leadership in promoting collaboration and excellence. Examples of topics of interest include * Improvement projects engaging multiple units within a university; * Collaborative efforts among universities, such as the Boston Consortium or the Big 10's Committee on Institutional Cooperation; * Innovation in student life interventions, such as campaigns to address substance abuse or to enhance learning outside the classroom; * Efforts to engage stakeholders within and beyond the campus; * Continuous improvement models from outside higher education; * Implementation of customer feedback programs; and * Building bridges between academic and administrative units. Most conference sessions will be one hour long, though a few may be as long as 90 minutes. We also anticipate opportunities for poster sessions, discussions of effective practices and other venues for sharing innovations and challenges. Sessions may include panel or solo presentations, with ample time allowed for discussion. Formats that maximize participant engagement are especially welcome. As a presenter, you'll be able to contribute to progress in the higher education community, help create an innovative and informative conference program, and gain recognition for yourself and your institution. You will also have a reduced registration fee (for up to three presenters in a session). The NCCI Annual Conference Program Committee will review all submissions and give preference for submissions from NCCI member institutions and multiple institution presenters.
