Sharon Parker
Chairman of the Board
Chebucto Community Net


Our facilitator for the Open Space sessions is Susan Lilley.

WHAT IS OPEN SPACE?
	Open Space is a remarkable meeting process which draws on some very old 
principles:  passion, collaboration, responsibility, inclusivity, and respect. 
It provides a natural pattern that encourages action rather than endless 
discussion. It allows the creative gifts and leadership capacity in a group to 
become manifest.

WHO IS COMING?
	The CCN Board has invited the core CCN community, including board, 
staff, volunteers, and members, as well as supporters from the broader community 
and others who believe in the importance of access to information technology in 
our region.

A REAL CHUNK OF TIME!
	The time allotted for this Open Space meeting is the perfect amount of 
time for the process to run its course. While it looks like "a long meeting" 
it's not! All participants will be engaged in what they care about, 
self-directed, and mobile in Open Space. We promise you an energizing experience 
full of creative, effective collaboration and fun.
