Our Priorities for 2008-2010
#1. Networking We will be building relationships among all members with: • events with specific networking opportunities • user-friendly website and emails about each other’s events. #2. Green Resumes/ Showcase of Progress We will be contacting all of our members, including Green Partners and Congregations in order to: • Document the changes in awareness, attitudes and behavior • Showcase expertise and accomplishments on our website • More formally recognize the Green accomplishments of exemplary congregations • Allow all congregations to look to other congregations and to our Green Partners for assistance, ideas, and mentoring. #3. Better Web Communication We will be updating our website and email system so that: • All members can keep in touch more easily with each other • All members can update their own entry of information. • All members can post information about their own upcoming events. #4. Follow-up to “And God Said it was Good,” held at Marquette University on Oct. 17-18 We will be connecting participants from that conference in order to: • Provide opportunities to discuss information and insights from the conference • Join the Network, get involved in faith-and-ecology service, take the lead in greening their congregations, and perhaps joining one of the Interfaith Earth Network committees #5. Workshops that continue to Bridge Faith and Ecology We will continue to hold workshops at the Urban Ecology Center and/or local congregation(s) to: • Educate ourselves about sustainability, especially local issues • Bridge ecology and spirituality in one or several faith traditions • Build relationships, compare ideas, motivate each other, and get feedback from membership regarding additional Green Partners, events, ideas, connections, etc. #6. Service Project Days We will encourage service work by: • Providing dates/programs for ecology-related community service work • Add spiritual reflection, faith sharing and community building to other existing programs #7. Advocacy for Local Issues We will improve our advocacy opportunities by: • Connecting the Network with environmental organizations who do legislative alerts • Organize or join a dialog with local legislators about local issues of interest #8. Youth Programming We will Organize and implement 1-2 youth events from several congregations as a fun way to explore environmental concerns, spirituality, and opportunities for community eco-service. |
