Testimonials

“In November 2006 when Meet The Bloggers joined the Midtown Brews collaborative, I had no idea of where the conversations would lead.  The ongoing relationships forged by these monthly get togethers have been nothing short of amazing.  Beyond the conversation is where the true value of Midtown Brews lives.”  - Gloria Ferris, Meet The Bloggers

The Institute for Open Economic Networks supports community and regional economic development
through Civic Forums, Collaborative Conversations, Integrated Improvement, and Social Intelligence.
I-Open Newsletter - October 1, 2014
Welcome! We're glad you're here!
A quick summary of I-Open content for you today-
  • Our featured image for October is "Organic Pattern" by Alice Merkel
  • I-Open Blog articles range from the massively read, "How to Have a Conversation About Race in America" by Ken Homer to Tim Ferris' "Leading With Purpose: Toastmaster Practices Inspired by the Four Agreements". If you're an entrepreneur, community or economic developer, you'll want to study Tom O'Brien's, "7 Factors for Successful Community Development Projects" and take a breather with millennial Justin Glanville's, "Circulate Me! How to Manifest the Next Best Version of Us"
  • This month's I-Open Research publication, "Stories and Faith in Community" is contributed by Hamilton Throckmorton, Sr. Pastor, The Federated Church in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, a gifted storyteller. I think you'll appreciate Hamilton's deep share about how to create meaningful stories that strengthen community, tough lessons in response to struggles of the modern church
  • I-Open News posts community interest updates
  • Lastly, a gentle reminder to check out the weekly Sunday I-Open Epiphanies, a mini-blog of inspirational community wisdom.
