Why am I an OPEN fellow?
OPEN’s mission to develop change agents who really understand system transformation and the need for it is really important. As an ‘elder’ at this point, I have developed some perspective that may be helpful to others in some way and I am always engaged in learning from others as well.
How can I help change agents?
Through speaking with people interested in change, brainstorming with them about possibilities, co-developing ideas, and engaging in whatever ways make sense given time constraints.
