>Dear Friends of Greening and Gardening,
>
>I am currently working on a project to develop a leadership training 
>program component for the American Community Gardening Association’s 
>>From the Roots Up program. We are conceiving of this as an additional 
>way in which ACGA can help foster the leadership and community 
>organizing skills necessary to maintain successful greening projects.
>
>As we are now in the planning and design phase of this program, I’d like 
>to extend an invitation to all of you to contribute some ideas about 
>what it should look like and the information it should include. Please 
>refer to the questions below. I encourage you to 1) draw on your own 
>experience and 2) take a little time to speak with a few gardeners in 
>your garden or program and pose these questions to them as well.
>
>It would be wonderful to hear back from folks by March 15. I know that 
>Spring is just around the corner and everyone is busy with planning and 
>dreaming about this season’s possibilities and programs. 
>
>However, I hope that you can take a little time to contemplate not 
>simply the coming season, but all the seasons to come, and forward your 
>thoughts to me about crafting a strong leadership development program 
>that will build successful and sustainable greening and gardening 
>projects throughout the country.
>
>Thanks for your time. Please feel free to contact me with any questions 
>at all regarding this project. I am also speaking to people in person 
>and via phone who are not on-line to gather as many opinions and ideas 
>as possible.
>
>Some questions to consider:
>
>1. What have been your experiences with leadership training? 
>
>2. What do you feel are the skills missing in your group and/or in your 
>garden?
>
>3. What do you do to foster effective leadership? 
>
>4. What do you feel are the most important topics to address in a 
>leadership development training program?
>
>5. How would you structure a leadership development training program?
>
>6. Do you have suggestions of people or programs doing leadership 
>training whom we can speak with?
>
>I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your feedback!
>
>Happy Gardening!
