BALLE day one

Here at the 7th Annual BALLE conference in Denver. Today’s session explored issues facing local first groups and used Open Space (a fave) to create breakout sessions. I participated in one discussing ways for the local first group to be economically sustainable and another that addressed the role of the board in a nonprofit and ways to select effective board members. We also heard an exciting talk about 10percentshift.org. I’m finding it all to be a very fertile ground for entrepreneural thinking.
