Dear friends,

Power Shift 2007 unified the youth clean energy movement like never before, and gave thousands of young people powerful and even life-changing experiences. At the same time, gathering so many young world-changers in one place came with a challenge: leaving participants with a sense of connectedness, a sense of having been both seen and heard. 

Building on the lessons of 2007, the Power Shift 2009 Planning Team intentionally declared that our movement's second ambitious gathering will be intentionally structured so as to enable participants to "connect with fellow organizers and build community to strengthen our movement and sustain our own involvement over the long-run."

Power Shift 2009 is now 28 days away, and as we begin to put the finishing touches on the agenda, we would love your thoughts.  By Thursday, February 5, can you email me at z...@ssc.org with your ideas on how Power Shift 2009 could most effectively and intentionally build community and foster a sense of connectedness?

Check out some ideas here, and email me your feedback:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=ddfr4zr5_73hp5s28zc

And here is our current agenda, so you know what we have to work with:

All ideas are welcome.  Thanks so much!

Peace,
Zo

Awesome, Zo!!!

In addition to some massive warm fuzzies board, this could be the perfect opportunity for SOC Sub to publicize our mentorship program. Have you heard about it?

I'm sharing you on the doc... We're hoping to get it through Cons Comm Council and EAC Steering in time to release a pilot for PS09. We used your Staff Mentorship proposal as a starting point, so we hope it compliments it well :)
