Hi, Open Spacers! I wanted to make sure you folks saw the message
below that Kai Degner (NCDD member and mayor of Harrisonburg, VA) just
sent to NCDD's main listserv. I know there were some posts on the OS
List about this innovative event back in June, but there's now a great
4-minute video on the event up at youtube.
Also, while I have you, I'd like to see more Open Space folks involved
in NCDD. If any of you are interested in becoming a member, I'd like
to offer you a discounted rate of $35 to join as dues-paying
individual members--if you join by the end of next month. Annual dues
for individual members (which is not mandatory, as we want to remain
an inclusive network) is usually $50. Dues-paying members are
eligible for all the training discounts we've negotiated with our
partners (listed at www.thataway.org/discounts ). Let me know if
you're interested in joining the Coalition (we'd love to have you!)
and I'll send you more details.

3min Video on Mayor's Summit, held in Open Space
Hello!
I write from the Virginia Mayors Institute in Roanoke, Virginia.
Yesterday afternoon, I was unexpectedly asked to present for 30
minutes in front of 35 mayors about what "citizen involvement
techniques" I'm using as mayor, prompted by the statewide organizer
having read about it in my local paper. I shared mainly about the
Open Space meetings I'm holding, and was impressed with how engaged
and interested the audience was - let that be motivation for you in
your communities!
There is now a 3:40s video that captures the energy of an Open Space
meeting. Feel free to watch and share it with your elected
officials! Click here

Thanks-
