It saddens, but does not surprise, me that there is some cynicism and mistrust of this initiative. In order for Americans to "Be the Change" that President Obama has requested, we need to be able to have conversations that matter. Kudos to the team behind Promise USA to lead the way and offer to use the World Cafe as a model for how communities can do this for themselves.

As an experienced facilitator (Open Space, Appreciative Inquiry) and familiarity with World Cafe, I would like to offer my assistance in the Seattle area - Christine, please feel free to contact me.
