David: I think your instincts are good ones. I believe that you should not offer incentives beyond the one of having a say in how things happen in the future. That should be just good enough.

My univ is considering using Open Space for strategic planning. The event probably will need to be held at a time when faculty are not "officially" on campus - before a term, during a term break, or after a term. The question has come up about offering an incentive (e.g., nice meal, book purchase, door prizes) to encourage faculty participation. A part of me wonders if bribing people to attend (or rewarding them depending on your perspective) goes against the grain of simply inviting faculty and staff to bring their passion to the event because they care? I would greatly appreciate hearing what folks on the listserv think. Thank you.
