These are categories we used in the power line at the 2000 National Rank-and-File Carpenters Conference in Boston, Mass. that AUD organized with Carpenters for a Democratic Union.
Note:
- In the actual chart, the categories were much larger -- 90 point type.
- You have to create categories that match your participants and their concerns (based on any information you can gather before the event).
- You should always include at least two blank columns and encourage participants to add any categories they think are missing from the power line.
