Thought I'd post the agenda of the house visioning meeting we're having with about 20 key leaders from our community here in Boston tomorrow. Not as much fun as Borat, I admit, but with smoothies beforehand and kosher Chinese food for dinner afterwards (sandwiching a solid meeting of big ideas), we should still have some fun.
Any feedback on the agenda we've got planned...?
MEETING GOALS: not process but substance-oriented; not committee-building but team-building; articulating shared vision & concrete objectives...
4pm -- warm-up & smoothie time
4:15 -- intros
4:25 -- a bit of learning
4:35 -- different visions for the house (a few individuals' perspectives)
4:45 -- initial "dreamstorming" session: what's the kind of community we want to build? what's an ideal month with the moishe/kavod house community look like? where would we want to be at this time next year?
5:05 -- "world cafes" {the "world cafe" is a unique form of small group break-out/rotation that allows for increased dialogue with a broader group of participants that Ben will introduce} around various core themes
5:45 -- reconvene, focus in on core themes, discuss team creation
6pm -- eat dinner/discuss next steps informally
For us, the internal goals are to develop new leaders, expand the number of those involved in planning/organizing events, lessen our own workload over time, and give more people ownership over the sort of community we're building.
Feel free to comment with any thoughts on this, and I'll definitely report back to let everyone know how this baby goes down...!

awesome - congratulations!
I think we may attempt something like this on a smaller scale (with potentially less leg work going into it). We'll definitely reach out to you if and when we do.
Challah!
