I write from the Virginia Mayors Institute in Roanoke, Virginia. Yesterday afternoon, I was unexpectedly asked to present for 30 minutes in front of 35 mayors about what "citizen involvement techniques" I'm using as mayor, prompted by the statewide organizer having read about it in my local paper. I shared mainly about the Open Space meetings I'm holding, and was impressed with how engaged and interested the audience was - let that be motivation for you in your communities!<br>
<br>There is now a 3:40s video that captures the energy of an Open Space meeting. Feel free to watch and share it with your elected officials! <a href="http://www.kaidegner.com/2009/10/18/video-of-open-space-technology-for-harrisonburg-summits/" target="_blank">Click here</a><br>
