Happy Campers

We know you have been busy, perhaps for years, trying to talk to people within your respective organization about why Government needs to integrate social media tools into what we do every day. This is not an easy task and is definitely not for the weak or thin skinned. How can we support each other?

Speakers may wish to consider the following questions:

How do you prevent burn out?
How can we better support each other and collaborate with each other?
How can we help our respective organizations get to yes.
How do we develop and nurture a culture of innovation?
How do we bring new ideas and technology into an organization.
How do we change the culture (how we do work) or reinvent government organizations to be better able to respond to citizen requests?
How do we help each other be successful?

If you would like to submit a speaker/panel submission, please describe what you will talk about, what organization you are representing, the format you are proposing, and how your proposal maps to the Camp themes. Creativity is encouraged!

All submissions for speakers/panels must be uploaded here no later than midnight EST on January 23, 2010. Voting by the Community and space availability will determine if your session is accepted. Voting closes at midnight EST January 30, 2010. The final Camp schedule will be posted no later than February 1, 2010.

I've been trained as and served as a Change Agent, planned awareness campaigns, and brought in new ideas and technology, including Web 2.0. Leading change involves many aspects—people, tools, culture, emotions—that need to be balanced. More... (Happy Campers)
