Hello, David!
We ICA colleagues in Denver are doing well here, and hope the same for you and yours.
There are fond memories of you 'marching' through Denver in 2014, on the 'Great March for Climate Action.' And, of my stay over at your farm in Iowa's Loess Hills on my way to the Minnesota-Ontario Boundary Waters. And, of you and Linda leading our 'CSIIIA (Individual & Family) course in Ohio in
Mariana and others, ANCA (Accelerate Neighborhood Climate Action) is in a new enough stage to still be forming the construct. We are using a modified (as needed, per neighborhood co-design) of the ToP Action Planning method. We do some climate info at the beginning - sometimes a little general plus Colorado stats, often with presentations relevant to that particular neighborhood and their concerns (recycling, electric car plug-in stations, green roofs, solar, composting, for example). So far, only two of us have been doing the actual facilitation and because we are "old hands," it is easy to modify for each group. However, as we expand the program and, in our great desire to bring on additional younger facilitators, we are wrestling with the best way and the best construct. Currently the plan is to co-design with "master" facilitator plus newbie plus neighborhood rep/s. As Jim said, worthwhile work!

We have a group here calling itself the "Accelerate Neighborhood Climate
Action (ANCA)" initiating committee, and are systematically setting up 'ANCA Forums' in Denver neighborhoods--much the same way as we did during the Town Meeting program. TIme consuming and worthwhile; a reasonable alternative to traditional retirement.
Wishing you well in 2018. More Power to Women!
