info_outline95 year old Lewinian OD Master Robert P. Crosby joins us again to discuss non-tradtional OD interventions he designed and facilitated, including citizens involvement in HUD block grant decision making, the Riverfront Park Project for the city of Spokane, and the construction of a new juvinile court building, student involvement at Gonzaga University, citizen dialgue between Christians of all kinds and LGTBQ supporters and individuals (many of whom, of course, were also Christian), and more. Many lessons here for the community organizer or OD practitioner. Want actual advice? I'll gladly put you in touch with my father, who loves to speak of these things and would gladly help you free of charge with new designs for change. If any of us are blessed to reach 95, we can only pray that we are as sharp of mind as the elder Crosby. The photo is of Kurt Lewin and Dad.
