Hi Doug,
A couple of first thoughts for your theme (that I think also reflect some of the other advice you have received here): Focusing the theme on client/consumer/community needs and positive future creation can really access the passion of this group and helps to draw in specifics. The concept of continuum of care, or wrap-around initiatives, can bring out some of the real day-to-day frustrations and barriers to excellence that providers experience (creating an impetus to explore "legitimate interdependence" as Chris K. has coined.) One of the exercises that I often go through in thinking/feeling through a theme, is to look for/ask about where the heart is? Where is the heart of this community? Where is the heart of the service provision community? Where are the connections/disconnections to the heart? How can we grow the heart? Hope this helps, Cheers, Wendy * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
