| 3:30-3:45 | Strategy (whether good or bad) is the recipe and tactics are the ingredients. If they don’t synch up, you’re sunk. The best strategy comes from (1) intentional, studied, focused, joyous, visionary thinking and planning. From (2) looking forward and backward, backward and forward. +From (3) principled, people-first partnerships, politics, and policy. Talk and discussion. | |
| 3:45-4:30 | Rotating table discussions on strategy (what, why, how?), scenario planning (what, why, how?), on-boarding with AJA and AJN, staying connected, expanding connections, building the beloved community. By way of suggestion: discuss what modeling better practices through actively radical hope (with heart, mind, and eyes wide open), hospitality (mutual aid, mutual welcoming), and love looks like. | |
