I have a deadline for work today and so I'm not certain I will be there or not. If I was gonna come, it was to reconnect and observe presentations. I am not ready with my own at this point.
If I come, I'll pickup some Pokejos cheese potatoes. If not, I'll try to connect with one of you guys/gals.

Jose' and all,
Thank you for your honesty.
I guess it calls the question of:
1) how much or what kind of support or sponsorship United Way can bring to our endeavors;
2) how much support and positive collaboration we can create among our PI cohort, and
3) how much (eg: is it 70% or 100%?) is left to our own individual initiative.
It would help me, I think, to see a possible connection made of how these projects may be consciously linked or associated to the overall strategic direction of United Way or correlated with the 3 targeted arenas of effort. Let's also do an accounting of what projects are on the possible launching pad and how they also may connect with each other.
Thinking systemically yours,
Steven
PS Tommy and Lynn have been a blessing, and I am grateful for their tremendous contribution.

Mando,
I may have a conflict tomorrow night, and may not be able to attend, but I could squeeze out of that other activity if you tell me now that our proposed gathering has a purpose. It sounds that the Public Innovators program is being dropped like a lead balloon due to staff and financial resources shortages. If so, simply tell us. Don't drag us on. Neither you nor we have the time for it.
I'm trying to implement my strategic planning initiatives statewide and in a community. It would have been very appropriate for strategic planning to be understood by non-profits in Austin.

Hi everyone. I'm back and ready to regroup the group! Please mark your calendars for the final session of the Community Studio - Thursday, October 30 from 6:00-8:00pm. At this session, we will discuss our final project ideas, answer any questions you may have in regards to United Way Staff capacity to support you moving forward and EAT! We'd like for everyone to bring an entrée or side dish and we will also provide one entrée and drinks (coffee/water). Also, it's byob or wine or tequila! (kidding on the last one). So bring your favorite bottle of wine or six pack. Or you can just drink water. No pressure on drinking alcohol. ;)
I also wanted to let you know how we can work together on the projects moving forward. We will...
Work together on existing projects/initiatives to help us achieve our goals (i.e. Volunteer trainings, Innovation Workshops, Comm. Engagement Summit, Mentoring Initiative, Bank on Central Texas, etc.)
If there is a new project the PIs want to develop, we can help on a very limited basis
New projects that impact our organization & staff workload will need to be approved as well.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I will go more into detail at our meeting/potluck.
Final Community Studio Session/Potluck

Thanks.

P.S. All you Public Innovators that missed one or all the sessions, please feel free to stop by! We'd love to hear what you've been up to and you can get a glimpse into what we've been doing the last 6 months!!!!
