[MarySue Foster]

To my colleagues on the AI list:


Join us on September 27-30 in Dallas for the first ever Inter-generational
Boot Camp for Visionaries and other leaders. We're gathering together adults
who are passionate about making a difference with high school students who
share those passions.

Are you working to make changes in your community? Or do you want to be?
What is your most important issue, the one you are most passionate about? Is
it world peace? the environment? children? animals? arts and music? Are you
transforming the legal profession? Or creating new ways for us all to
communicate? If you could make a difference in only one area, what would it
be?  
 
 (Can't attend? You can still make a difference! Sponsor a young person for
only $100. And pass this message on to colleagues who will want to join us,
too! See below for links.)

 
We have designed this conference for people like yourself who care deeply
about people and the planet and want to be as effective as possible in
making a difference. We'll be sharing cutting edge technologies that are
inclusive, empowering, and tap the collective wisdom of the entire group. 
And our leaders are already effective in community transformation and know
that by sharing, we create more results!
 
At the Imagine-Nation Conference, you will Discover Partners, Generate
Community, Get Connected for Results. You'll learn new tools and strategies
for being more effective in your work, including SELF CARE for those of us
taking care of the whole planet.
 
Spend a few days with us in September -- enliven and empower your projects
and organizations for years to come.

Conference Agenda 

Thursday evening: Informal reception honoring Bliss Browne, a maven of
community transformation and Founder and Executive Director of Imagine
Chicago, the most recognized Imagine program in the world.

Friday: Area youth leaders arrive in the morning. The day is filled with
discovering your passions, identifying new colleagues, large and small group
work, challenge elements, work on generating a community with diverse
groups. The evening features a youth-only party and a chance for adults to
learn more, unwind and deepen friendships.

Saturday: An introduction and field work on Appreciative Inquiry, including
team building and reporting to large groups, an afternoon beehive with many
activity centers. The day completes with a special Flying Out ceremony for
youth and adults, an Imagine Award dinner honoring Bliss Browne, and the
youth depart for home and a parent meeting and homecoming celebration.

Sunday: A brunch, focus on 2008 Imagine-Nation Conference with the
Imagine-Nation Founders. A circle process where adults make promises for
projects and self-care for next year. Conference completes at noon.

I'm most looking forward to the Saturday "beehive" sessions. In a
marvelously chaotic yet structured way, we'll tap the collective wisdom of
the group and everyone will have an opportunity to share their passions and
projects with others in mini-workshops.
--My kind of space -- chaotic and purposeful!
 
Join me in Dallas for a transformational weekend!
 
Yours in peace,
