WSA INITIATIVE: ORG & CULTURE SUMMARY
by Stefan Freedman, Initiative Coordinator
- Summary of a WSA Initiative and an ongoing discussion...
At the last world congress, Innsbruck 2005, there was a delegates Forum called ‘Our duty to be present in the world’. In following this up, WSA first focused outward on Subud’s visibility and image with the initiative on our presence in the world.
To complement this, WSA then began the second initiative of looking at our own organisational strengths and any self-limiting tendencies.
The second initiative involved me in co-ordinator role and Frederic Richard as my ongoing sounding board and rudder, providing clarity and structure. ...This paper does not claim to be “expert advice" or a proposal, and does not represent a unified view held by members of the WSC or ISC. The current team values this initiative as part of an ongoing conversation to expand our perspectives and options.
Any comments are warmly welcomed. Stefan Freedman - email stefan@subud.org.
