I am personally still very excited and committed to this idea and have had some really good conversations with a number of you already about it.   Some good strides have been made, but as with many things being done off the side of one&#8217;s desk, it&#8217;s been a bit hard to spend some focused time on it lately!<\/p>\n<p>But with all that in mind, a few of us have been talking and have decided to do an impromptu coffee on Tuesday, March 11th in Downtown Vancouver.  Well, given that it&#8217;s a bit far away in the calendar, maybe it&#8217;s more ad hoc than impromptu.  Either way, a few of us will be meeting at the Co-op office at 3:30pm (250-1166 Alberni Street, Vancouver) and then just find a coffee shop nearby to connect, share ideas, and talk a bit about the Emerging Leaders Network.<\/p>\n<p>If you are in Downtown or will be on the 11th and would like to join us, let me know.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and in case you haven&#8217;t seen it in your email inbox lately, the Co-op launched an eCampaign that came out of the Leading Change initiative called Passion For Work Week.  It was last week and we have a few campaign posters online at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.leading-change.ca\/\">http:\/\/www.leading-change.ca<\/a>  Hopefully some of you had your organization take part.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure Justin wouldn&#8217;t mind hearing from you if you are an emerging leader in this field either in British Columbia or elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in June of last year I facilitated a one day Open Space event for a group in Vancouver called the United Community Services Coop.
