<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Christine and Claudia (and fellow OSLIST
members)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hooray to our Girl Scout National Council for
allowing you to share the report with the OSLIST! It is a terrific model for
building capacity in nonprofit organizations on a national and local scale.
Thanks for the nod at the end of your message. I experienced "triple joy" as a
member of the design team - #1 From my vantage point as a seasoned
facilitator, it was a joy to experience being "facilitated" by you. You created
an environment that allowed our whole selves to show up - our emotional,
intellectual and spiritual intelligence, #2. As a volunteer board member of the
Girl Scouts, the joy of experiencing our design team (girls and national staff
members) releasing traditional approaches, shifting before my eyes, then
embracing a new way of exploring what our "customers" value, and #3, the joy of
experiencing thousands of our girls and volunteers participating in
conversations that have the potential to transform the organization to meet
the needs of <EM>today's</EM> girls and young women, "We aren't your
grandmother's Girl Scouts" has been an emerging theme in recent years, but the
"Open Strategic Conversations" at the national convention unleased the
potential to fulfill the promise. Experiencing OST on this scale
reinvigorated my desire to bring it into my practice and my life. Muchas Gracias
mi amigas. </FONT></DIV>

themselves, captured the spirit and imagination of what lies in the future for
