The two-day Global Chapter Leaders Workshop is the first of its kind in ISOC history. Approximately 120 participants from Chapters all over the world will attend the workshop.  The title of the workshop is “Imagine, Plan, Act!" with a focus on local action supporting a global mission.   The first day will be devoted to “Imagine” and will focus on ISOC’s vision and plans for 2012. It will include an information exchange among the Chapters to stimulate conversation around the possibilities for local action, drawing on past Chapter experiences and expertise.  The second day will be devoted to “Plan and Act!” The focus will be on more practical Chapter topics and their implementation – the “how to”.  Again participants will be encouraged to network and share information with other participants.

The programme of the workshop is designed to take into account that the bulk of the attendees have never been to an ISOC workshop before, and that participation is focused on the “new” Chapter leaders.

The workshop will employ three languages: French, Spanish and English (taken into account when making table assignments). Simultaneous translation will be available for the plenary style sessions.

The subjects covered reflect the interests of the participants as displayed in the participant survey.

ORGANIZATION OF WORKSHOP

There will be approximately 12 tables of 10 persons each. Participants will be assigned seating among the tables to encourage networking, meeting new people, and exchanging information.

The facilitators are Peter Houstle and Peggy Hoffman, Mariner Management.
