An Innovating Blackout!
The First Chinese Innovation Forum was definitely not an ordinary professional development event being hosted at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS),and co-hosted by Chinese American International School (CAIS). Planning committee members walked into the McCone building on the morning of the event finding out that electricity was out for the entire city of Monterey. What better way to start out a forum with the word “innovation” in its title, than to think of a back up plan on the spot and set up a makeshift seating area for the morning keynote presentations without delaying the start of the event! Luckily, all individuals including Dean Renee Jourdenais, Head of School of CAIS, Dr. Jeff Bissell, the planning members, those from the catering company and even event speakers were supportive of each other and flexible enough to work together to provide a seamless start to what ended up becoming a very exciting forum.
