The <br /> meeting will be held at the City of Eugene office at 1820 Roosevelt. I have attached the <br /> notes from the last meeting as well as a draft of an new statement of partnership (with <br /> track changes and comments from staff). <br /> Jonathan Soll will be facilitating the meeting, he wrote: <br /> "Based on thoughts we have and what we heard from the city, Dana and I decided that for <br /> this meeting it was important to have the current WET members spend more time discussing <br /> what an expanded partnership would mean and what kind of role they see for their <br /> organizations in such a partnership. It seems too late to effectively get on potential <br /> new members calendars and bringing them into a discussion we don't have our heads around <br /> yet seems a recipe for disaster. AS Dana says "go slow to go fast" <br /> Another thought, that I would like to suggest is looking at other models of broad <br /> partnerships. I would recommend looking at what is being done on a fairly broad region, <br /> very successfully in the upper Midwest. The Chicago Wilderness might be a model for us to <br /> consider as we look at a larger scope and geographical area. (Don't be misled by the <br /> name!) I would look at the goals, initiatives and membership as an example, <br /> http : / /www.chicagowilderness.org/ <br /> (See attached file: WET Notes 080904.doc)(See attached file: WET Partnership Statement - <br /> text 11 08.doc) <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Patricia (Pat) K.
