Mission
Collaboration & Consensus Through Dialogue
CED engages its members in collaboration and consensus through the tool of dialogue, building trust and understanding among a broad base of interests. Dialogue is a different way for people to speak and to listen for common ground. Fundamentally, dialogue is based on the belief that our collective intelligence is greater than the sum of individual perspectives.

Being able to listen, learn and share experiences and perspectives helped as we each translate our knowledge into actions. CED was a helpful vehicle for staying abreast of issues important to the State and I loved the spirit of respecting various points of view and wearing our human hats."
