<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Susan, </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tova and I
did something like that in the Human Resources yearly conference. We created a
steering committee sponsored by the organizers, that included HR managers
and CEOs who worked with OS, and some that the organizers thought
might be interested. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Above the usual things they brought 2
interesting ideas 1. In our section of the invitation (that included the
topic and a bit about OS), every participant was asked to invite
another member of his organization, free of charge, to this 3.5 hours OS
meeting, to enhance the diversity</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Five sponsors of past OS events, from
different sectors, were invited to tell the participants shortly about
their OS experiences. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The topic was something about bringing joy to
the workplace, and one participant invited his father who wrote a book about joy
of life.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>About 40 people attended and it was fun and
productive</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have been invited
to offer Open Space as one of 6 workshop sessions at a conference – so I will
need to attract participants who have other specific offerings to choose
from. (This is a conference for diverse grantees from a foundation
that supports small NGOs dealing with vulnerable populations.) Has
anyone offered OS in such a setting? How have you described it in the
program as an offering? What lessons did you learn? I plan to
assemble a small group of representatives who will attend the conference to
help me frame the question. Thanks for any
suggestions,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
