Longtime former Communities Publisher Laird Schaub, the magazine’s most prolific author over its 52-year history, will soon have many of his writings assembled into book form. A book team (including the Communities editor) has been meeting for the past year and, with Laird’s blessing, working to bring some of his numerous articles, blog posts, and course handouts into longer-format publications that will reach even more readers and also be welcomed by the many people who’ve read his individual pieces or taken his courses and trainings related to community, consensus, and facilitation. With expert medical help, Laird has defied the odds and been successfully managing multiple myeloma for the past nine years—until now, when remaining treatment options are no longer working. This project, long envisioned, now has greater impetus to happen, to assure continued access to much of what Laird has learned and taught over the past decades, in a form that can outlive mortal human beings.
A GoFundMe page to support the work on this Community, Consensus, and Facilitation book series will be posted online by the time you read this. You can reach it through the “pretty link” at gen-us.net/ccf.
