I talked.

Jeff Deckman is leading the first participatory session: Passions. We’ll go around the room and voice our passions. Please, no names here…

0: taking business experience to help other

1: orchestra conductor analogy for aligning the facets of resiliency-social, environ, econ, built environ, etc.

2 connecting with communities coming from an architectural POV. “Making sure we had all the stakeholders involved.” Less design, more community work.

3: passionate about ideas, as pediatrician/pub health know health comes from social context. existed 150 years ago.

4: passionate about people, assisting people who have gone through adversity. providing with process to become self-sustaining - community organizing - helping people make change in their lives

5: fixing what humans have done to the planet — sustainability, nobody knows what it means. figuring out my connection to the planet

6: leaving footprint in the sand of time - remembered for making a mistake or making a difference - passionate about business development for human empowerment - two paradigms: significance and security

7: combining biz dev and environmental planning - connecting business success with personal success

8: rivers - balance within ourselves - connecting people with their locations/rivers

9: lifelong Prov resident - realness, beyond preservation to sense of place that’s real - not reinvented, not the same soul that it used to have - real places need people to be more real

10: fighting the corporate predators of tobacco control - work with others to leverage the power of beliefs - if unexamined, they can lead to troubles - combining health with people and place, de-medicalizing health, [describes resilience planning without knowing it]

11: connecting soul to work

12: from real estate POV, planning is wasteful - we need to be stewards, not abusers - not just develop housing, but develop communities

13: don’t believe that for-profit puts profits before people - supports the ability of private sector to make change for the better - seeks to take Prov to “next level”

14: passionate about the future - taking responsibility for the future - family is important, reminds us of our responsibilities to the future

15: passionate about improving quality of life - transitioning housing stock to healthy, affordable

16: 2 questions - what constitutes home for a person? what constitutes home for a community

17: passionate about people and how they interact as a community, business career ultimately didn’t satisfy - sold biz and went into community development

18: passion = adventure - prefers the dark, exciting path other avoid, finds excitement through education, history, business…

19: living the love demonstrated by Christ

20: passionate about being passionate, web 2 and helping Davey beat Goliath

21: people and place - most focused on 5 themes — the greek Agora/Spynx dicotomy — resurgence of debate in public school — a regenerative economy — systems where waste becomes food — the next generation
