Strategy for Building Community at Conference

Judi and Jane's ideas

  • empathy group
  • support team
  • specific space for connection - somewhere people can go

Margarita will join Judi and Jane.

Wanting others to join

  • wanting co-ownership of supporting connection in community
  • create hospitality team
  • empathizers and connectors

John Abbe: add this to outreach questions; could have a community building page on http://www.nvcwiki.com

Mary: appreciate to Judi and Jane for what they are doing

Playback Theater

Christopher Ellinger

Kit will have description on registration page

Agenda for next time

Question: Margarita: want to know more about observer circle (in inviting people from outreach)

Kit: want leadership circle instead of a single leader; want to include outer circle for people supporting; haven't talked about it clearly.

Agenda:

  • talk about roles
  • Logo: request: seek out artist / graphic designer
