Christine You must be on a slow elevator (what is called a "lift" in the UK). The elevator pitch originated with venture capitalists, that is, an entrepreneur had the time it took for the v.c. to reach her/his floor to "pitch" their concept.
So, here's a 30 second pitch: Good governance rests on the willingness of those to be governed. Consent of the governed depends on participation. What better way to participate than getting everyone in one room, because they want to be there. Moreover, it also allows you to tap into the collective wisdom of the people you have been so clever to invite, as well as leading to commitment and ownership. Good luck!
