Campaigns Meeting Report

Submitted by admin on Thu, 05/06/2010 - 14:43

This is a report from the Monday evening meeting about carrying out Assembly campaigns.

Participants were interested in each of our campaigns. We started by breaking into small groups, mixing people from across different campaign interests. We brainstormed different kinds of actions we wished to organized around the campaigns. After about 45 minutes, the groups reported back and we flip charted their answers, under the categories: Actions, Contacts, Internal Training, Research, Written Materials, Public Education, Opportunities/Issues.
