Dear Colleagues:  \ As we celebrate Caribbean Blue Economy Week, I thank you for agreeing to join our  Roundtable Dialogue on the Role of Faith Community in Environmental Stewardship.   As climate changes continues it is vital that we in the Caribbean diaspora take a more strategic  approach to how we engage the diaspora.   Over the years, since Gilbert, ICS  has been engaged in supporting various relief and recovery  efforts, with community leaders like Loughton Sargeant, Director of DC Carnival and Image  Band who has served as a defacto point person for the DC Metro region.   We at ICS believe that the Caribbean American Faith Community could be much more  engaged in the process.  The goal of this conversation is to explore how the faith community  sees the role of environmental stewardship and how we might work with the leaders in the faith  community to develop a more robust community response at all stages of the ecosystem from  climate change mitigation to disaster relief, response and recovery.   DRAFT AGENDA    12:00 Call to Order  Opening Remarks - Dr Claire Nelson (3 minutes) - Why Are We Here?  12:03 Opening Song - Gerard Placide (3 minutes) 12:06  Intro of Guests Dr Nelson and Order (4 minutes) 12:10 Rev Melbourne (7 minutes)   12:17 Rev Constant (7 minutes)  12:24 Dr Conrad Duncan (7 minutes) 12:31 Kamalah Fletcher (7 minutes) 12:38 Charles Sharp (7 minutes) 12:45 Internal Discussion Led by Dr Nelson (15 minutes) 13:00 Short Break Musical Interlude (Gerard Placide)  13:05 Open Public Discussion (45 minutes) - The Goal is to Identify at least 3 ACTIONS we could take towards SMART Futures  13:50 Where do we go from here?
