September 27th, 2002 for an on-line conference for those who cannot attend

Please join us for the second annual conference of the International
Alliance for Mentoring. The conference will provide you with:

1.        the opportunity to participate in a compelling theme, within which
the participants develop the agenda that best suits their needs and
intentions for learning and personal and professional development

2.         the opportunity to make a difference for the future of humanity

3.         the opportunity to experience an Open Space Technology meeting
(for information about what an Open Space Technology meeting is go to
http://www.openspacetechnology.com/tr_ost.html)  , and

4.        the opportunity to experience the development of an intentional
conscious Open Space Organization (for information about the conscious Open
Space organization go to
http://www.openspacetechnology.com/articles_2.html )



Through participating, you have the opportunity of intentionally creating a
new reality for organizations and communities. We believe that reality can
be shifted if the will is there to do so. Our vision is to influence the
future of humanity to become life nurturing for all beings involved,
achieving health and balance for individuals, organizations, and all of
humanity. Our vision is to achieve this through mentoring leaders and
potential leaders of all ages, and through mentoring organizations.



The International Alliance for Mentoring (IAM) is a network of individuals
and organizations that has no governing body and is based on working from
passion with responsibility by each person or organization that is involved.
The International Alliance for Mentoring is an interconnected learning
organization, a conscious Open Space Organization.  An Open Space
Organization has minimal structure through a set of “givens”, that are just
enough to provide appropriate structure for creativity, productivity,
wonder, imagination and results.



1.        The purpose of IAM is to influence the future of humanity in
becoming a harmonious place by linking or interconnecting individuals and
organizations who seek higher consciousness, higher awareness, highest good,
highest learning and highest joy through mentoring. Within IAM, mentoring is
defined as encouraging service in the world based on truth and facilitating
compassion, tolerance, self-love, mutual respect and joy.

2.        IAM is a network of individuals and organizations and, as such,
has no governing body. There are no membership dues. Any costs and expenses
incurred are incurred by the organization or individual who is interested in
moving a topic forward. This includes hosting of the annual conference, the
website and the list serve.



Join us, as we create a reality, through the International Alliance for
Mentoring that is more harmonious and in health and balance for all of
creation.  We believe it can be done through intentional collaboration and
networking to do so through this Open Space Organization with its simple
structure and lots of space for finding mentoring opportunities.



The meeting will be facilitated using Open Space Technology (OST) (see
www.openspacetechnology.com ).  OST is a process that supports learning and
deep understanding within groups of people. The International Alliance for
Mentoring is developing itself as a conscious Open Space Organization.
