Dear SoL Consultants & Researchers,

The following request comes from Lt. Col. Steve Luhrsen, USMC, who is 
the Plans and Operations Officer for the Provincial Reconstruction 
Team (PRT) in Anbar Province, Iraq.  The PRT is responsible for 
planning and executing operations to develop the capacity of the 
Anbari government.  Steve is familiar with the SoL community having 
attended the SoL Foundations of Leadership course last year.

Steve describes a current need for a facilitator/mediator as follows:

"Currently, in Anbar province, the challenges we face are these:

Reconciling tribal equities with those of other tribes, and the larger 
society as a whole.
Helping newly-elected provincial leaders to more-fully realize their 
own capacity to bring about meaningful change in Anbar province.
Helping public-sector actors set conditions for private sector 
investment.
Helping public-sector actors learn to function within a system they 
are trying to change.
Overcoming the debilitating effects of decades of tyranny within a 
belief system that prizes honor, shame, and revenge."

Interested parties should contact Steve directly at: steven....@ar.mnf-wiraq.usmc.mil

Cheers,
Cynthia
