Article about I-Open Leadership Retreat April 23, 24 & 25, 2008
If you attended the Punderson Leadership Retreat, please send your brief testimonial to info@i-open.org about your learning experience. Testimonials help to keep us on track and provide stories we can share with others about what to expect in learning about Open Source Economic Development.
We've posted a follow up below.
The Leadership Retreat was a productive experience for everyone who
participated last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in the beautiful
surroundings of Punderson State Park in Newburry, Ohio. We enjoyed
brilliant weather in addition to meeting and spending time with great
people and learning about assets, passions, and next steps toward
regional transformation.

Next Steps
Out of the Retreat, the participating group formed
an online workspace - Meet The Pundersons - to sustain conversations
between F2F and amplify efforts to accelerate regional transformation.
The group decided to meet again in six weeks and head for a larger
engagement meeting-down-the-road in July.
We've also organized an online space I-Open Education,
more for general information about education services I-Open offers,
for anyone who is interested to learn about new practices and tools for
Open Source Economic Development. You are welcome to join the web
space, start posting and contributing your questions, comments and your
stories to the News or Forum section or upload files.
We are
planning a fall I-Open Leadership Retreat for Sept 10, 11 & 12 at
Punderson. Sessions focus on new practices and tools for building
networked communities and regions, as well as building connectivity for
like minded leaders. Contact Susan Altshuler, I-Open if you would like
to register at susanaltshuler@gmail.com
We'll upload VOD taped sessions organized by topic content in the near future for easier viewing access on the iopeneducation
channel. Depending on your Internet speed/online traffic, the Live Show
Broadcast will give you an excellent unedited access to the information
Ed Morrison presented as well as the conversation, comments and
contributions shared F2F by the group last week.
