David B MacNeill replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion 2011 SGCN Activities in the group Steering Committee

"Happy New Year to all: I'm just trying to catch up on the discussions. I agree wholeheartedly that a 2011 workshop is a "gotta-do". In terms of planning, we may have to consider either conference calls or the ning site…"

Christopher L Conger replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion 2011 SGCN Activities in the group Steering Committee

"Aloha everyone, Jess - thanks for the summary. My comments on our list: 1) We should probably talk funding as one of the first topics. Like Jess said, we don't have any dedicated funding and the last workshop had a $25k grant from national plus…"

Juliette Finzi Hart replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion 2011 SGCN Activities in the group Steering Committee

"I realize my bullets for the SGCN objectives link fall more in this section. Jess, you've nicely summarized what everyone else has already said. I'll add my second bullet here, though perhaps it falls under your #4 above. At…"

Juliette Finzi Hart replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion Formalizing SGCN Strategic Objectives in the group Steering Committee

"Hi all, I am the newest member (I think) to this group so don't feel I have that much to contribute as of yet. But, I think the comments by Jess and Thomas are both really good. Here goes my stream of consciousness... I…"

Jessica Whitehead replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion 2011 SGCN Activities in the group Steering Committee

"OK, so to synthesize some proposed activities: 1.) 2011 SGCN workshop (Thomas, we've ended up thinking of doing these every other year - we don't have any funding from the national office). Needs a subcommittee/recruitment for…"

Thomas Ruppert replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion 2011 SGCN Activities in the group Steering Committee

"My comments on the page for "Formalizing SGCN Strategies" are probably more apropos here: 1) The SGCN serves to bring together examples of successful projects that result in real changes at the local government level. The need for examples…"

Thomas Ruppert replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion Formalizing SGCN Strategic Objectives in the group Steering Committee

"Well, I'll do an equally stream-of-consciousness reply. . . . It is true that the charter already lays things out quite well. I confess to also not usually using the NING site. Part of this probably stems from the fact that I feel my focus is,…"

Jessica Whitehead replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion Formalizing SGCN Strategic Objectives in the group Steering Committee

"OK, since no one else is going to start in this one I'll give it a go. This is stream of consciousness, too, so don't hold me to anything I'm about to type. Our charter already lays out our overall goal/objective pretty…"

Mike Spranger replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion 2011 SGCN Activities in the group Steering Committee

"Agree with Esperanza that some face-face meeting useful to strategize on future activities, possible cross-region activities. Also use CCAI analysis to see what is being done in this area. Also, would be interesting to see how individuals/states are…"

Esperanza Stancioff replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion 2011 SGCN Activities in the group Steering Committee

" Yes on a 2011 workshop; strategy for pursuing this: survey of SG Programs for most needed topics for learning, problem solving and networking; funding?; set up a committee to plan; use NING site to further develop ideas and discuss CCAI…"
