experiences on this list.  I'll forward any responses that come through the

Thanks,

Hi Peggy--

Thanks for your note.  At this stage I'm interested in hearing about
examples of the use of Open Space in community-wide planning processes
involving different organizations that have intersecting interests--e.g. in
early childhood development or after-school programs--especially in Oregon.
Can you suggest any people in Oregon who have had experience with this?  Or
could you offer any comments or caveats about Open Space as a tool in this
kind of effort?  We're looking at a variety of possibilities for engaging
people in defining a focus for programs, and want to understand what the
strengths and weaknesses of the Open Space model might be.

Many thanks for any leads you can provide!

Jeff
