Woodstock Town Hall, 2nd Fl Conference Rm 31 The Green Woodstock, VT 05091 

Upper Valley Green Drinks– 2020 Planning Meeting

Green Drinks are meant to be fun, but we also want them to be useful and have shared value among our partnering organizations which is why we would like to meet once per year to “make a plan.” Our first annual Green Drinks planning meeting will be for our Green Drinks partnering organizations to get together, learn about what Green Drinks is and how it is used in other parts of the world, to share ideas and expectations, to discuss its potential value, and to plan out the general logistics for the 2020 Green Drinks schedule.

Agenda:
1:00-1:30 Green Drinks Overview
Sustainable Woodstock will give a general overview of what Green Drinks International is and how it is used in other locations. and ask others who have attended other Green Drinks to share their experiences.
1:30-2:00 Prompt Brainstorming
We will ask attendees what they or the organizations they represent hope to get out of an Upper Valley Green Drinks and what their expectations are as a partnering organization. We will then synthesize these thoughts into “prompts” to be used in the World Cafe. (We will ask organizations to reflect on this question before they arrive)
2:00-2:45 World Cafe
Attendees will be broken up into small groups, and each group will reflect on each of the prompts which were developed during the brainstorming to determine how the interests and expectations of an Upper Valley Green Drinks can be achieved in a fun and social atmosphere.
2:45- 3:00 WHAT, WHEN, WHERE for Green Drinks 2020 Series Schedule
We will ask folks ideas for locations, dates, and times for hosting a 2020 Upper Valley Green Drinks series. We will also talk about what it means to become a partnering organization.

We request that only one person from each organization attend so that there are equal voices among all the potential partnering organizations. Attendees should discuss interests and expectations of Green Drinks with colleagues before they attend to make sure they are representing their organizations fully.
