for the Clinton Global Initiative webcasts. It is very exciting to
hear about the $7.5 Billion in commitments for some of our biggest global
issues. I'm imagining what might have happened if some of the
dialogues were held in Open Space. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

hour Open Space with The Nature Conservancy marketing group as part of at
two day annual "Field Days" gathering of over 100 participants from around
the world, held in Tucson, AZ. In the closing circle the two comments that
touched me the most were how much they appreciated holding some of the sessions
outside, "We're all about NATURE, right?" and how their breakout
discussions offered the EXPERIENCE of Umbutu. "I value the free flow and
creativity </FONT><FONT color=#008080>– the theme which is a new theme –
connections. We are all connected regardless of what we do."

<DIV>Hello Everyone:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was quite privileged to volunteer over the course of last week at the
Clinton Global Initiative. The Initiative brings together some of the
world’s best minds and most distinguished problem solvers to identify immediate,
practical solutions. For three days, the members take part in plenary
discussions where they debate and determine the best ways to take action. There
was much to "appreciate" and the dialogues and table discussions were rich and
the commitments made gives one great hope for the future. $7.5 Billion
dollars in commitments were made over 3 days around issues of Poverty
Alleviation, Climate Change, Global Health and Religion and Conflict
Resolution. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While I know we are all quite busy, I thought some of you may have wanted
to hear some of the plenary and panel discussions. We are quite fortunate
that this year all the webcasts have been archived. I highly
recommend listening to the Thursday morning plenary with Archbishop Desmond
Tutu. </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Throughout the conference the themes of compassion, positive stories, and
common understanding were affirmed over and over again. The South African
concept of "Umbutu" -"I am because you are" was invoked often as
well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope you all find some time to watch those that are most meaningful to
you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Warm regards,<BR>Denise </DIV>
