โข Kim opened the workshop, introducing Ed Morrison of Purdue University, who
came to discuss a network-based, community organizing process called Strategic
Doing.
2. โข Ed invited those in attendance to participate in an activity called โPoint Your
Finger.โ The activity forced the group to work as a team to accomplish a
seemingly simple task: lowering a stick to the ground.
โข Ed presented some of the foundational ideas behind Strategic Doing, and talked
about how the discipline could be used in Shreveport to accomplish an array of
complex goals related to energy efficiency and conservation.
โข Ed discussed the purpose for and roles of a โcore groupโ in Strategic Doing.
โข Ed led the group in drafting an initial charter for the โEECโ core group. He
encouraged the group to drop the acronyms and find a new โmore
inspiring/motivationalโ name. When discussing the charter, participants agreed
that they believed in the following values:
1. the possibility of deep/meaningful/positive change
2. core scientific values โevidence-based action
3. inclusive and diverse community engagement
4. a motivation to improve quality of life in Shreveport
5. that deep change can (and needs to) prove to be beneficial for all
6. sustainability, integrity, flexibility, elasticity, resilience
7. that our community can learn to value the earth and its resources
โข This was a first attempt at a charter, and should be refined in future meetings.
โข The group then brainstormed โpostcard-style,โ outcome-based mission statements
for each of the EEC focus areas. These ideas need greater specificity and should
be crafted to attract interest:
1. building energy efficiency: reduce building energy consumption by 25%
2. green workforce/business incentives: design education, workforce, and
business development systems to support a sustainable economy
3. clean & renewable energy sources: design diversified, decentralized
energy systems that provide for flexible supply and demand
4. reduction of waste & pollution: zero waste, contamination reduction, air
and water quality improvement, step change reduction in our waste
stream, feed ourselves through local food systems
5. energy education & outreach: develop a network, targeting key
influencers, guiding conversations to achieve a cultural shift, and defining
a new civic space โa different way of connecting and conversing to
accomplish goals
6. transportation & land use: choice and flexibility, mobility, walkability,
bike paths, smart growth, reduce transportation-based energy consumption
and establish more efficient land use patterns
7. other: to be developed as needed
โข Ed concluded the workshop by answering some questions about attracting people
to participate in the Strategic Doing process, organizing working groups around
focus areas, keeping the effort on track, and guiding positive conversations.
