Monthly Meeting:
Throughout 2003 we are meeting bimonthly from 7:00 - 8:30 pm for a public program, usually at the East Library. These meetings are free and open to the public and feature a variety of futures topics. Give us your contact information and we will put you on our e-mail list.
Workshops:
Usually once or twice a year we host a half-day course for a nominal charge, offering an overview of the futures study field, as it has developed the last 40 years. These days are led by those who have earned advanced degrees.
Project Groups:
From time to time, project groups form under our chapter for study purposes. Two years ago a "2030" project group was formed to study the how Pikes Peak region was planning its future and to consider how systems thinking and scenario forecasting might complement these efforts. The group then reported out at various monthly meetings, along with guest speakers. |
