Clarity of purpose for the NVC USA Project group
- Lisa - different people had different purposes in mind for the conference {and likely for the project as a whole} - some spreading NVC in US; some having effect on our representatives and who we are in the world {tho, staying apolitical as a nonprofit}
- Rick read stated purpose from FAQ page for the conference. Were intentions / vision met?
Lisa
- met need for networking around specific needs, becoming more aware of resources and interests
- met need for getting more of a sense of and enlarging NVC community
- met need for connection, contribution and purpose
- awareness of the southern CA group - gathered with much excitement
- conflict group - clear desire for a membership organization to support trainers
- sociocracy in action - didn't go as everyone wished, but gave people a taste of decision making sociocratic process
Tom
- enhance community building skills - yes
- conflict not as a problem - clarity not there about the issue - so no
- new communities mentored by older - aware it happened, but not with me

Needs met and what would we do differently?
Lisa - met needs for aliveness and bubbling, growth and beauty.
Rick - inspiration - put energy in and it manifested - the conference happened (true in Lisa too - working on welcoming committee - taking on challenge and stretching) - would like the first night to be for the group as a whole connecting with the vision/intent of the conference (true in Lisa too - for connection between participants and with whole group)
Tom - opportunity to see people as he is not in the training community and to come together with trainers and leaders; met needs for inclusion, contribution such as expertise to group about imarketing: gettting the NVC name out there
