There is a distinct and meaningful difference between being invited and being welcomed. I compare this difference to the difference between accepting diversity and embracing it. Both are positive, yet the latter increases the level of connection between the individuals or amongst the group more than the former. With this in mind, I design invitations to each of the programs. Within the invitation I capture the 6 ideas of creating community by Peter Block: Members of communities must be active, as opposed to passive. Individuals within the community should not feel obligated, but rather show up by choice. Therefore, the decision to show up means something more.
