"Open Strategic Conversations" capacity building project which culminated in
large events at the Girl Scout National Convention - </FONT><A

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"><FONT color=#008080>On October 7, 2005, an Open
Space on Governance was held for more than 1600 delegates and over the following
3 days Strategy Cafés attracted over 3000 participants.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These events were eagerly awaited by 100
volunteers - the core of the capacity building effort who we had trained in Open
Space and World Cafe. They had self-organized for planning and
implementation before, during and after the convention to become the logistics
backbone for these events. The "Smooth Operators" as they called
themselves, captured the spirit and imagination of what lies in the future for
Girl Scouting and have gone on to facilitate many Open Space events and World
Cafe conversations in their local <SPAN class=937512804-03022006>Girl Scout
</SPAN>councils and their communities at large.<SPAN
