Last week, Carlton Stock posted a message on the listserv about attending a new training program with the Transition movement at 4750 in Chicago. For those who might be interested, below is a link to Transition US's current newsletter with their story and photos about the same. http://transitionus.org/stories/transitioners-all-over-country-convene-chicago?utm_source=Transition+US+Mailing+List&utm_campaign=f47bbb8e45-newsletter_July12&utm_medium=email During their week at 4750, Transition trainers also met for their annual planning. At Transition's invitation, this was facilitated by Marti Roach and Rachel Hefte of the ToP Network. As you see at the end of the story, a strong collaborative relationship is emerging between the Transition movement and ICA in the United States. This national connection, with international implications, is a key complement to the intensive work we are currently doing with the "Accelerate 77" program in Chicago -- which will culminate on September 25 with the city-wide "Sharing Approaches That Work" event.
