WSC 2014 Planning Our Future Sessions Where do we go from here? • • Communication Workshops for Fellowship discussion Zonal forums discussions Workgroup: ideas or recommendations

There are two conversations: 1. The future of the WSC 2. The role of zones Our Focus is The Role of Zones

Ideas for Zones Generated by the WSC • • Understanding of what zones could be Zonal awareness and effectiveness Consider redrawing some boundaries Create common purpose while zones also meet their own needs as they determine

Ideas for Zones Generated by the WSC • Zones operate differently • Nothing prescribed • Discussions: what’s most important to members about zones • YOUR input is essential!
