Fwd: [NCDD-DISCUSSION] Mayors and Open Space

[Sandy Heierbacher]

Hi, Open Spacers!  I wanted to make sure you folks saw the message  
below that Kai Degner (NCDD member and mayor of Harrisonburg, VA) just  
sent to NCDD's main listserv.  I know there were some posts on the OS  
List about this innovative event back in June, but there's now a great  
4-minute video on the event up at youtube.

Also, while I have you, I'd like to see more Open Space folks involved  
in NCDD.  If any of you are interested in becoming a member, I'd like  
to offer you a discounted rate of $35 to join as dues-paying  
individual members--if you join by the end of next month.  Annual dues  
for individual members (which is not mandatory, as we want to remain  
an inclusive network) is usually $50.  Dues-paying members are  
eligible for all the training discounts we've negotiated with our  
partners (listed at www.thataway.org/discounts ).  Let me know if  
you're interested in joining the Coalition (we'd love to have you!)  
and I'll send you more details.

Sandy Heierbacher
Director, National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD)
