>  Dear Open Space, World Cafe and Appreciative Inquiry friends,
>
> The 2008 Girl Scout Convention website was launched yesterday -
> http://www.girlscouts.org/convention/default.asp.  Girl Scouts of the USA
> National Board Chair, Patricia Dias-Dennis (brunette) and GSUSA CEO, Kathy
> Cloninger (blonde), invite Girl Scouts to build on the Open Space and
> Strategy Cafe conversations that were initiated at the 2005 GS convention by
> sharing their leadership stories.
>
> This year, during the corporate business meeting, up to 15,000 Girl
> Scouts will engage in a series of large-scale conversations, to which all
> members are invited:  Open Space on Successful Council Practices,
> Appreciative StorySharing, Stewardship Report Cafe Conversations,
> Self-organizing for Success, and Action Commitment sessions.  We've been
> thinking about this project as *Robert's Rules meets Conversations that
> Matter.*
>
> Throughout the convention Digital StoryWeavers, girls from 12-14 years
> old, will be capturing and producing leadership stories from the members of
> the Girl Scout Movement.  We are calling this culture change initiative
> "StoryWeaving".
>
> The vision of the StoryWeaving Design Team is: Members ARE the Movement:
> Our Stories ARE the Girl Scout Story.
>
> Girl Scouting is the largest "girl only" movement in the world with 3
> million girls and 1 million adults registered.  Just imagine the potential
> for feminine leadership.
>
> We anticipate 1,000 Girl Scout volunteers will staff the StoryWeaving
> activities at the convention. The primary harvesting method will be text
> messaging - a natural opportunity for the girls to take the lead.
>
> Please hold the space with us - Girl Scouts model participatory democracy
> and embody the theme of the convention: Girl Scouts can lead anywhere.
>
> Warm wishes from toasty Phoenix,
