Panel Discussion pt.1
Since
I have found discussions in the "media" largely less than satisfying
and the "official" focus typically cyclical- I invited a few people to
help take a look from different perspectives. Building on the Cultural
Fusion theme of Radical Inclusion we are joined by...
Atayne CEO/Founder -Jeremy Litchfield http://www.atayne.com, Musician,
Composer, & Artist- Eduardo Martinez
http://www.eduardomartinez.com, and Stephanie McKenzie
http://stephaniedmckenzie.com.
When undertaking an enterprise or project it is common to start by
surveying the context to define needs. In community development this is
called a needs assessment. In Cultural Fusion Experience it just a step
in the process. This is an important step towards formulating an
inclusive strategy. While my interest is art as the foundation let's
see what our insightful guests have to say.
The web and globalization are redefining community, leading to new
innovations in economic models and therefore it will have an increasing
impact on regional economic development. Whether we find new ways of
doing these assessments or simply find new ways to supplement what is -
it seems important to consider these issues in the context of the open
systems facilitated by the internet as well as the push towards
transparency that will shape the success of globalization.
Panelists will address five or six questions to illuminate the needs
within their industry and then each will have the chance to express
their ideas about the way forward.

A Chat with Beth Dunn
Today
I will interview Beth Dunn author of Social Climbers
http://www.socialclimbers.net
Her novel is akin to the Preppy Handbook for a modern world. What
happens to those "popular girls" from our school days? They became
characters in Beth's book.
Beth Dunn grew up and attended Etiquette school on Philadelphia's Main
Line. By the time she was 12, she'd learned that white gloves had
nothing to do with the weather.
As a married lady, she discovered that while ground rules for social
"acceptance" may have changed since her school days, the ladies
definitely hadn't. Sick of cliques, cruelties and mean girls grown up,
Beth Dunn was motivated to write about them.
