Hello Kim,

Your Ph.D. student may be interested in attending one of the public sessions
we host on Stewardship. One is scheduled for Oct 25-28. We bring many
resources to bear on the subject of "being in stewardship to organizations."
The one this fall will focus on surfacing and understanding the systems that
are at play -- and are very often invisible. It's called "Bringing Systems
to Life." To be in stewardship, one needs to have a systems awareness. Let
me know if you think there's a match.

Warm regards,

John Dicus

Hello Diana,

We have been using a nice facility in Western MA, near Albany NY. It is
called Jiminy Peak. They have provided us a very inviting learning environment.

"Bringing Systems To Life" will be at Jiminy Peak. As the title suggests,
we will be giving life, or animation, to dormant organizational systems AND
we will be making the concepts of systems thinking in organizations simple
and understandable for everyone.

Warm Regards,

John Dicus

How wonderful -- I am sorry that Seattle is so far away. Any chance of getting a
syllabus/agenda/meeting notes of what transpires? Do you ever hold programs on the
West Coast?

I am very interested.

Thanks, Diana
