<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: Seeking volunteer help for
an OS in Ohio: FRIDAY not Thursday, the 17th plus clarification</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Please let me clarify: I have been contracted to work
with this client and<BR>am indeed being paid, indeed that is how/why I am
coming out from Seattle.<BR>They do not have additional funding to add extra
facilitators -- a matter of<BR>bureaucracy as much as funds. So I am
asking the OS community for help to<BR>support the design in the best way
possible (otherwise, their staff will be<BR>the co-facilitators, which I do
not feel will serve as well). I have often<BR>enjoyed assisting at OS
events here in the Northwest and thought I'd put<BR>this out there in case any
Ohioans felt similarly. (For example, a few<BR>years back Peg Holman
helped organize a great strategic planning process<BR>with the State Arts
Commission -- many of us volunteered, Peg was the only<BR>one paid).
Please do not make any assumptions about the good people of Ohio<BR>or the WIB
organization! Putting out this request is my idea -- just aimed<BR>for
those who might have the time and who would find this fun
and<BR>stimulating. I certainly did not want to set off any hornet's
nest !<BR><BR>And please note, I was mistaken in the date: the time
when I need help is<BR>the next day, FRIDAY the 17th. Thursday evening
we'll have an appreciation<BR>banquet, and do some Appreciative Inquiry
interviews - but I feel fine with<BR>that on my own. Friday morning is
the time for the 3 breakouts and so two<BR>additional facilitators would
really be great. and then help with OS is<BR>always wonderful - in terms of
logistics and set up and 'holding the space.'<BR>I already have one likely
volunteer who has stepped forward -- so for those<BR>of you comfortable with
volunteering, let me know!<BR><BR>Susan<BR><BR>Susan Partnow, Partner &
