Hi Chris,

Thanks for the thought, but as much as it would be nice to participate
in this event, I'm already committed elsewhere in July :-)

Best,
Karen

You may not be familiar with this organization, but a lot of what these
practitioners do is facilitate meetings of like minded folks at higher
education institutions who are looking to develop something new, or get
to the root of an issue that is messing up a process. As a member of
NCCI and a newbie to Open Space I think that you should consider
submitting a proposal-plus the conference is in Hawaii!!!

Subject: NCCI Call For Proposals

National Consortium for Continuous Improvement in Higher Education
NCCI advances academic and administrative excellence in higher education
by identifying, promoting, supporting and sharing effective
organizational practices among member institutions.

Call for Proposals

Seventh Annual National Conference

Honolulu, Hawaii July 7-9, 2006

Collaborative Solutions --> Plan*Implement*Assess*Lead!

The NCCI Annual Conference Program Committee invites your contribution
to Collaborative Solutions.the theme of our conference and the key to
organizational and academic excellence in higher education!  We are
looking for people willing to share their knowledge and experience,
drawn from successful projects, seasoned approaches, innovative
organization design, or valuable lessons learned.   
Any stage of an improvement effort is appropriate -- planning,
implementation, or assessment -- as is the role of leadership in
promoting collaboration and excellence.  Examples of topics of interest
include 

*         Improvement projects engaging multiple units within a
university; 
*         Collaborative efforts among universities, such as the Boston
Consortium or the Big 10's Committee on Institutional Cooperation; 
*         Innovation in student life interventions, such as campaigns to
address substance abuse or to enhance learning outside the classroom; 
*         Efforts to engage stakeholders within and beyond the campus; 
*         Continuous improvement models from outside higher education; 
*         Implementation of customer feedback programs; and 
*         Building bridges between academic and administrative units. 

Most conference sessions will be one hour long, though a few may be as
long as 90 minutes.  We also anticipate opportunities for poster
sessions, discussions of effective practices and other venues for
sharing innovations and challenges.  Sessions may include panel or solo
presentations, with ample time allowed for discussion.  Formats that
maximize participant engagement are especially welcome.

As a presenter, you'll be able to contribute to progress in the higher
education community, help create an innovative and informative
conference program, and gain recognition for yourself and your
institution. You will also have a reduced registration fee (for up to
three presenters in a session).

The NCCI Annual Conference Program Committee will review all submissions
and give preference for submissions from NCCI member institutions and
multiple institution presenters. NCCI encourages and promotes diversity
among presenters and the institutions they represent.
