[Chapter-delegates] Sphere Project - Good news!

[Anne Lord]

Dear Colleagues,

[Apologies for duplicates]

Many of you will be aware that sadly, last year Tim Gartside, the  
facilitator of the Sphere Project passed away after a short illness.  
Since that time I have been looking for someone to take over the  
consultant role for the project and I am now pleased to inform you  
that Robin Loan will take up this role.

Robin is a highly skilled and insightful group worker and facilitator,  
working primarily with large organisational systems and assisting to  
effect change particularly in the relationships between the formal and  
informal, the seen and the unseen. She has been working in this field  
since the late 1970's.  Her outstanding successes are seen in the  
feedback from clients.   Robin and Tim have had a long history of   
friendship and peer work dating back to 1993 and they were co-creators  
of the Open Sphere methodology.

Robin is in the process of reviewing all the project information and  
getting up to speed.  We are very fortunate to have her working with  
us and I feel we are in very "safe" hands.  With her guidance the  
project will continue to strengthen relationships between ISOC and the  
Chapters and between Chapters and to deliver outcomes that support the  
mission of ISOC.

I am delighted to inform you that she will be attending and  
facilitating the Chapter workshop in Mexico. This will include some  
Sphere content as well as content suggested by the Chapter delegates.  
This will be a great opportunity for those that will be in Mexico to  
meet Robin in person. More on details of the workshop will be sent in  
a separate email soon.

Please join me in welcoming Robin.

Best wishes,


Anne
