Doug -- you are working much too hard! Just think of the 5-? Friends, colleagues, interested parties you know and ask them to be a co-convener. Rules are: Come. Bring Friends, Add Spirit. Whoever cares will join you and if nobody cares, maybe you should think twice about going ahead. Or maybe you need some new friend? Not difficult. And when you get some takers, supply them with an electronic invitation and invite them to send it to their own mailing list. Always worked for me. Turn around time can be days to a few weeks. Longer than that and you probably don't have a "live one."

Germann, Sr. Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 12:21 PM To: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Subject: Immigration OST Chris-- Thanks. I like your term "invitation support." Could you give an example of how you have gotten people involved in invitation support? For the Doers Conference which you mentioned, the process took place over almost 6 months, too long I think in retrospect. There were two pieces to it: gathering names of people to invite, which included gathering names of people who would let us use their names as inviters on the invitations; and meeting with the people we were inviting. I was not as deliberate about getting people to help invite, and that seems to be key to what you are doing, yes? How have you grown this idea? There is important learning here for all of us, especially working in communities. :-Doug.
