[OSList] Please join me next week for Governance Lab!

Sun Jun 21 05:57:26 PDT 2015

Dear Ben, Ah the power of invitation. There was passion in the room and
passion in your  email. I reflected thinking how often you invited me and
how often you came, traveling to Florida, to New York and virtually with
the Brene Brown Open Space event. My clarion call was always Open Space
with a topic that I dearly believed in.  So here you called again and as I
looked at the schedule and the program again and the cost -- how could I
not be there, at least as much as I can. Not just because of you but
because I know it will be significant to my work.

I posted this on my Facebook and here now as a "Pay it Forward" to our
trailblazing organizers and to acknowledge your passionate persistence. I'm
in!!!

Hope other friends and colleagues will join too. Seems late June/July will
offer incredible virtual time for grand reunions with this and VOSonOS!
