Case Foundation's "Make It Your Own" Awards Program Launches on June 26
Do you have big dreams for your community? The Case Foundation is launching a pilot grants program that could turn these dreams into reality. NCDD is listed as a Partner on the Case Foundation website since we will be doing our best to inform the dialogue & deliberation community about this opportunity – and since Case recognizes the importance of your work and encourages you to apply!
The Make It Your Own Awards™, a new initiative from the Case Foundation that launches on June 26, 2007, is about giving grants, tools, and recognition to people who are coming together to discuss what matters, form solutions, and take action. I just added a page on this innovative program to our Projects section.
Sandy Heierbacher co-founded the National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD) with Andy Fluke in 2002, with the 60 volunteers and 50 organizations who worked together to plan NCDD’s first national conference. She served as NCDD's Executive Director between 2002 and 2018. Click here for a list of articles and resources authored by Sandy.
HELLOP, SANDY: Thanks for posting this annoucement about the initiative by the Case Foundation! As a lone ADR toolmaker
(collaborative planning; structured consensus-based dialogues), I am looking forward to this chance to listen mindfully to others and to compare my own tools with theirs. So,please, you organizers, leave a necessary minimum of time for presentations and a maximum for (facilitated consensus-seeking!) dialogues.
Yours for more holistic and peacefulk thinking.
