[Ailist] AI Commons website update

[Dawn Dole]

Hello Appreciative Inquiry Listserv, 

Below is an email that I sent to the guest list of the AI Commons website. I want to keep all of you updated on the new sharings on the AI Commons also.

It has been a while since we've written to you with exciting updates on the AI Commons website. There have been many new articles, videos, books, events and much more shared on the AI Commons over the past few months. I invite you to take a few minutes to click on the following links that will bring you new resources for learning about, sharing and exploring Appreciative Inquiry.  And, if everyone who receives this message, shares one AI story, AI tool, or case study on the AI Commons, the website will continue to grow and we will all learn and benefit from each other.
