<B>Subject</B>: [NCDD-DISCUSSION] Mayor's Summit Success (smashing, really)<BR>
<B>Date</B>: Sun, 31 May 2009 13:55:23 -0400<BR>
<BR>
Greetings-
<BR>
<BR>
I wrote a month ago about having recently been elected mayor on a process-based platform and planning an Open Space "Mayor's Sustainability Summit". Your emails were motivating and encouraging - and I hope yesterday's successful summit is further motivation for us all!

TV COVERAGE (notice the OrangeBands!): <A HREF="http://www.harrisonburgsummits.com/2009/05/tv-coverage-of-summit-whsv/">http://www.harrisonburgsummits.com/2009/05/tv-coverage-of-summit-whsv/</A>

Stats: 7 Hours, 158ppl+, 120 orgs+, 34 sessions, 23 reports online in blog (as of now)
Budget? $16 for orange fabric. $14 for name tags. Everything else donated.
Innovation: <BR>
I created a blog, <A HREF="http://www.harrisonburgsummits.com/">www.HarrisonburgSummits.com</A>, that captured the proceedings online throughout the day. For simplicity, I used a Google Form for people to enter their reports and for registration. I had two people take the reports from the Google Spreadsheet and enter them into Wordpress blog posts throughout the day (easy). The schedule was posted online immediately, and the session titles became links to the reports (see the schedule grid at <A HREF="http://www.harrisonburgsummits.com/">www.HarrisonburgSummits.com</A>). Because everything is in spreadsheet format, I can now easily use a mail merge in Word to create a nicely-formatted PDF summit report, complete with contact information for all attendees - and have the report stay "alive" on the blog.
Thanks for all you're doing - and for the inspiration and community!
<BR>
