Title: Leading Collaboratively and the Role of the EPP Practitioner
Join friends and colleagues for a thought-provoking and informal chat on leadership,
as an essential ingredient in successful ECR. The discussion will help

leading collaboratively in implementing "cooperative conservation"
efforts, such as the Joint OMB-CEQ Statement on ECR and Collaborative Problem
Solving, regulatory negotiations, collaborative
planning processes, and other situations.

Topic: Project on U.S. Engagement with the Muslim World
Search for Common Ground-USA will discuss its working in partnership with the
MIT-Harvard Public Disputes Program to develop a groundbreaking,
interdisciplinary dialogue and consensus process to address the underlying
factors that contribute to anti-U.S. sentiment in the Muslim world. The project aim is to develop a widely
supportable, bi-partisan strategy to enhance international peace and security.
No other effort to date has attempted to pool the wisdom of respected leaders
in diverse fields - national security, foreign policy, social sciences,
religion, business, philosophy and others - to develop an integrative
analysis of the problem and widely supportable strategies leading to
action. The project also will engage the media and citizens, along with
leaders, to catalyze an inclusive and informed national dialogue leading to
action. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund has provided initial funding for
this project. A Leadership Summit to officially launch the project has
been scheduled for winter 2006-7.
