Abstract: Beginning with our third Forum in 2004, we’ve dedicated formal time on Saturday afternoon to allow attendees to think and learn together in an exercise led by a past Forum presenter, on a topic of his or her choice. This year, we have invited Peter Stonefield, who has presented at our 2007 and 2009 Forums to lead what promises to be a mindful session. Peter will resume this Networking Session where we left off in 2010. Be prepared to juggle.
