07:54:48 From Stephanie McGovern To Everyone : Morning 07:59:24 From Brad Turberville To Everyone : I don't have any other questions 07:59:30 From Brad Turberville To Everyone : on masks 07:59:51 From Brad Turberville To Everyone : I'll wait to hear 08:05:06 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : Good morning everyone, glad you are back with us today. 08:14:28 From Kerwin Dewberry To Everyone : GM Sandy 08:14:46 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : GM Kerwin :-) 08:17:54 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : Quiet group this am 08:17:55 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest To Everyone : tracking 08:17:57 From Robert Trujillo To Everyone : we are awake 08:18:20 From Erin Swiader To Everyone : makes sense, this is a great example 08:24:56 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : I love that mission for Puerto Rico! 08:24:58 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : vision 08:29:52 From Rita Skinner To Everyone : is our motto a vision? 08:30:35 From Kim Giang To Everyone : I was wondering the same thing, Rita 08:35:45 From Nancy Brunswick To Everyone : What do we do when those two elements are in conflict? 08:38:02 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest To Everyone : the other challenge we have is we often have to choose among two or more "right" things 08:38:19 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest To Everyone : dilemas 08:39:40 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : service is being in service to something bigger than ourself 08:40:22 From Anthony Madrid To Everyone : I like that Elaine! 08:48:11 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest To Everyone : agreed Elaine! 08:48:28 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : Great point, Elaine. 08:48:35 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : yes, Elaine 08:51:25 From trevaslaughter To Everyone : Agreed Rita 08:51:32 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : I assume we're shooting for a vision that's compelling enough that all of our employees recognize their contribution toward it. It helps me to keep that idea in my forefront 08:52:07 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : Steve what do you think about how to include the grasslands as Rita points out? 08:52:36 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : Is there a descriptor that captures all of our landscape types? 08:52:48 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : tundra to deserts and sky islands 08:53:37 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : Maybe bristlecones to saguaros implies all the ecosystems we manage?? 08:54:14 From Ericka Luna To Everyone : pinecones to saguaros 08:54:24 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : river to rim? 08:54:43 From Ian Fox, R3 To Everyone : Heather, that does not include Grasslands. We have to add that, otherwise our Grassland employees feel disconnected 08:54:55 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : not everyone knows what a bristlecone is and how rare they are 08:55:02 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : and you are right Ian 08:55:11 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : prairies to peaks 08:55:21 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : I like that LJ! 08:55:25 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : yes! 08:55:33 From Ericka Luna To Everyone : i like that LJ 08:55:41 From Ian Fox, R3 To Everyone : Yes prairies to peaks 08:57:10 From Rebecca Reynolds To Everyone : prairies to peaks! 08:58:34 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest To Everyone : I agree Kerwin! I like prairies to peaks, but then I feel like it leaves out desert 08:58:47 From Shayne Martin To Everyone : forests to field, minerals to mountain tops, water to wide open spaces. 08:58:59 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : I'm hopeful we'll get a lot of options to consider. Some general some specific. 08:59:40 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : imo referencing the planet isn't too big given the interconnectedness of all and our contribution to the well-being of the earth :) 09:00:26 From Shayne Martin To Everyone : novelty, alliteration, and context - three of the top 10 rules in meaningful communication. 09:00:36 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : i hope we will challenge ourselves to use fresh language! 09:02:21 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : food for thought: people don't know what grasslands are (sorry, sounds like my lawn). It's more that we need to get them thinking about the variety of vegetation and landscapes we mange (FS is not just about trees). How do you boil that down into the simplest terms? 09:02:28 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : thanks Shayne good for us to know@ 09:02:49 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : exactly Heather 09:03:05 From Ericka Luna To Everyone : i agree Heather 09:03:26 From Neil Bosworth To Everyone : So hostile desert to freezing mountain tops? 09:03:54 From Rita Skinner To Everyone : lol 09:03:56 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : It's scary out there, isn't it Neil? 09:03:58 From Adam Bromley To Everyone : you really seem to have and issue with a hostile environment and everything tying to stab you. 09:04:35 From Robert Trujillo To Everyone : Does it get gimmicky? I think should be authentic and not flowery... 09:04:50 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest To Everyone : the desert is a beautiful, but hostile work environment 09:05:09 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : sand to snow! 09:05:30 From Robert Trujillo To Everyone : My vision is enviros and ranchers living in harmony and singing cumbias... 09:05:30 From Jake Nuttall - Fire & Aviation Mang. To Everyone : I agree with that Heather but even our Logo has a Tree and does not identify our other pieces of the landscape. My daughter always says "Dad you work for the U tree S". lol. 09:06:07 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : hilarious jake! 09:06:08 From trevaslaughter To Everyone : I agree Robert, if we are too "flowery" it can come across as inauthentic 09:06:12 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : Too funny Jake 09:06:31 From trevaslaughter To Everyone : *inauthentic 09:07:51 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : future employees can be attracted by our vision 09:08:17 From Ericka Luna To Everyone : Southwest airline Vision statement: To become the world’s most loved, most flown, and most profitable airline. 09:09:07 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : our partners have lofty visions too! 09:10:13 From trevaslaughter To Everyone : it seems that there is a great opportunity to educate the public about grasslands. Most people don't even know the FS manages grasslands and the fact that so many people know so little about one of the largest and most threatened biomes on the planet provides a wonderful opportunity. I think a lot of internal folks often forget about grasslands...perhaps it is difficult to see the prairie for the trees! 09:11:01 From Ericka Luna To Everyone : I also like TEDs Vision statement: We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. 09:11:48 From Rita Skinner To Everyone : TEDs is also a belief statement? 09:12:26 From Robert Trujillo To Everyone : I agree Rebecca. We have the same intent most times, its the beliefs that differ. 09:13:09 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : Maybe the grasslands need their own vision statement and mission. I could name a lot of things folks don't know we do in the FS that we can't add to a vision statement. Gotta capture the essence not the specifics in a vision. 09:13:20 From Bill Sapp To Everyone : from a 501 c3 I work with: Our Vision We see a future where people are motivated and mobilized to sustain the world’s greatest landscapes, cultural sites and biodiversity. 09:13:50 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : Microsoft: A computer on every desk and in every home. 09:13:51 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : Check out CBD's MISSION: SAVING LIFE ON EARTH At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive. 09:14:10 From Tom Torres To Everyone : thx for sharing that Elaine 09:14:30 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : I like CBD's! No wonder so many people get behind them 09:14:44 From Mike Martinez To Everyone : Much more eloquently stated than Robin actually speaks lol 09:14:46 From Robert Trujillo To Everyone : I agree with that mission statement... just have different beliefs on how to get there and for who and how different peoples may benefit from that mission 09:15:24 From Adam Bromley To Everyone : I could buy that CBD and the FS are looking at a very similar beliefs and vision. we are pressured from other places though as well. 09:19:02 From Shayne Martin To Rebecca Reynolds(Privately) : https://fiscal.treasury.gov/about.html my last agency had done this in 2012. I really liked what they came up with. 09:37:30 From Wendy Jo Haskins To Everyone : Mssion: Ensure the lands entrusted to all are thriving, serving communities, and honoring the historic and traditional values that are special to the Southwest. 10:04:38 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : Hi Rebecca, can you see our chat? 10:05:48 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : Through innovative landscape conservation and public engagement, all landscapes from the desert and grasslands to the mountain tops in the Southwest are thriving, contributing to economic well-being, and providing a special place for the public and all species that depend on them. Mssion: Ensure the lands entrusted to all are thriving, serving communities, and honoring the historic and traditional values that are special to the Southwest.
