Scenario III

The Second Meeting

The group (of now 30 interested people) assembled with their previously-emailed documents in hand. James presented a Power Point presentation on information literacy and the benefits of an information literate community and led the group through examples of other partnership forming and the sample mission and vision statements recently posted to the website.

The group broke into smaller groups, led by initial group members, and followed the Assembly process of group discussion with forms and guides. Group members picked their best ideas and reported back to the larger group and then Pat led the group through a prioritizing of the list and the choice of key words for a vision and mission statement. Pat agreed to draft both - with the words chosen - and the post to the e-list.

The group then discussed what they wanted to accomplish in their next meetings through both short term and long term goals, chose another date to meet, group members chose to become involved on a primary, secondary or support or information-sharing only level and group co-leaders for each were chosen.

Each of the three groups then met to discuss what their roles might be, project they thought they could accomplish with costs and support mechanisms and future activities. Group note-takers completed their forms and got instructions on posting them to the e-list.
