A small group of very diverse organizations, from an After School Program for low income families to a large Private School for children with disabilities, from a University sponsored Think Tank to an Association of organizations, meet in Ithaca NY.
After our workshop with Frederic Laloux – author of Reinventing Organizations – he wrote to us:
Dear folk at AdminInstitute,
Thank you both for organizing and hosting. This was great fun for me, I almost never do workshops like this, so it was a treat. And an honor, frankly, to be in a room with beautiful people from so beautiful organizations. Just the day before, I had a skype conversation with people at Michelin, the global tire manufacturer who is bringing forms of self-management to 70,000 workers, which is to my knowledge a totally unprecedented scale and a really hopeful sign… and yet, sitting with you, I realized that it’s hard for me to get excited about the business of making tires, and that I feel so grateful that what I researched can be of value to organizations who are truly working to usher in a different future…
Warmly,
Frederic

Board Development Workshop
Board Development Workshop, Dec 10 in Philadelphia
The board workshop was attended by 25 board members from 5 different local Waldorf Schools. The workshop was designed to allow maximum time for sharing and collaboration between the local boards, to work through the 10 basic board responsibilities for non-profit board guided by Elizabeth Guman and exploration of aspects that are specific to private schools. Hosted by the Waldorf School of Philadelphia in their new, beautiful buildings and facilitated by Claus Sproll and Elizabeth Guman, the day long workshop brought the needs, the best practices and experiences and the work of the board to the foreground. Specific needs as to cooperation, expanding the mission from education to the social mission of Waldorf Education, to be aware of trends in the fields and to anticipated future needs as well as board practices were part of the day.
Consultants Conference – Hudson, NY
AdminInstitute was engaged in bringing about the recent workshop for consultants in Waldorf Schools and mission driven organizations from all across North America – 27 people from the US and Canada attended. The weekend event was very meaningful and full of content and brought inspiration to those attending. We met at Solaris Center in Hudson, NY. A west coast event is planned for the fall.
