Alternative Models Seminar

unnamed-1

It was a real treat to be in the company of so many CMW family members recently for the annual Alternative Models fellowship seminar*. What a remarkable intentional community that welcomes the ongoing participation of so many interesting–and interested–individuals! By a quick count, I noticed 1. current staff members, 2. current board members, 3. current fellows, 4. former staff, 5. former board members, 6. former fellows, and even 7. a former student visiting while home from college on winter break. This learning community aspect of CMW–a culture of supporting professional colleagues–is probably one of the under-publicized aspects of the organization’s annual programming, and definitely one of my favorites!
