friends, this is a call for table facilitators for a 21st Century Townhall event in DC on Internet Access.
I've facilitated at two such events and think at the very least it's an opportunity to talk to organizers and others about using ost and related process arts for their work. warmly raffi As you know, we are gearing up for our two events in Washington, D.C. next week. We have had a tremendous response so far and are still looking for least 20 facilitators for our Free Press Summit: Changing Media. http://freepress.net/summit Would you be willing to send an email out to any of your contacts or other facilitators who you know in the D.C. area? We are also looking for people to post a notice to the International Association of Facilitators forum and any other forum or listservs where facilitators are sharing jobs and information. I have included some sample text below. We appreciate in advance any help you can offer.
