<div dir="ltr">Dear Ben, Ah the power of invitation. There was passion in the room and passion in your email. I reflected thinking how often you invited me and how often you came, traveling to Florida, to New York and virtually with the Brene Brown Open Space event. My clarion call was always Open Space with a topic that I dearly believed in. So here you called again and as I looked at the schedule and the program again and the cost -- how could I not be there, at least as much as I can. Not just because of you but because I know it will be significant to my work. <div><br></div><div>I posted this on my Facebook and here now as a "Pay it Forward" to our trailblazing organizers and to acknowledge your passionate persistence. I'm in!!! </div><div><br></div><div>Hope other friends and colleagues will join too. Seems late June/July will offer incredible virtual time for grand reunions with this and VOSonOS!</div><div><br></div><div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e-aeXOrL3CkENx3HAT4Lb3CHl-f7hIC38xP-wmuDLLs/edit#heading=h.qhjh3kuakxqi" target="_blank" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:21px">Click here for more information.</a><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>Suzanne</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Suzanne Daigle<br>Open Space Facilitator<br>NuFocus Strategic Group<br><br>FL <span>941-359-8877</span><span dir="ltr"><span dir="ltr"><span><img></span></span></span><br>Cell: <span>203-722-2009</span><br><a href="http://www.nufocusgroup.com" target="_blank">www.nufocusgroup.com</a><br><a href="mailto:s.daigle@nufocusgroup.com" target="_blank">s.daigle@nufocusgroup.com</a><br>Twitter @Daiglesuz<br><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>

Our thinking here is that many prospects might lack sufficient reference points (both for the virtual process and the broad subject) for deciding to participate, so having some concrete sense of some of what will be offered is valuable. We will be careful not to let the agenda get too full before the opening circle on the 25<sup>th</sup>, however, which will hopefully keep the space feeling truly “open.” If any of you would like to take advantage of the opportunity to call a session in advance, please let me know. And I’m also curious about your experiences with such a practice. I have a feeling it may turn out to be one of the ways that our beloved process evolves once it leaves its “pure” manifestation in the in-person realm. ;-)<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Ben<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#4f6228">Ben Roberts</span></b><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#4f6228">The Conversation Collaborative</span></b><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#4f6228"><a href="http://www.conversationcollaborative.com/" target="_blank">www.
