Mayor Brown is Requesting Moderators for Wed 4-6:30 White House Jobs Forum
Dear Trained Open Space Facilitators:
Mayor Brown is asking for your help in putting your facilitation skills to work for him and President Obama. He has been asked by the President’s office to conduct a forum next week on Jobs and Economic Growth in Buffalo. It will be held at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center Wednesday, December 9th from 4 - 6:30 pm.
The room will be set up for tables of 8. Participants will discuss each of 3 questions at their tables and at then end of the discussion, we need your help to moderate the group to choose its top issues to be noted on a summary form you complete for them and get it entered into a computer at the head of the room.
This task is important because the White House will be getting tens of thousands of responses and we need ours from Buffalo efficiently packaged and communicated.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING MODERATE A TABLE AT THIS MAYOR’S FORUM,
PLEASE REPLY TO DAVID GRANVILLE BY TUESDAY AT NOON.
DO NOT RSVP AS A REGULAR ATTENDEE.
Questions? 851-4296. David will send a brief moderator’s guide and perhaps even a web link to a short orientation video to be sure you’re prepared.
Please try to arrive by 3:30 the day of the event.
We also believe this forum will lead to a meeting in open space on the same topic sometime in January–more about that soon–a chance to put your open space training to a great use.
Sincerely,
Brian
