Remember when it seemed that everyone knew everyone else in the neighborhood? Whatever happened to that?

Change is everywhere. There's no questioning that. Some communities are struggling while others seem healthy and growing. But growing or not, one theme seems common to all. We've lost something....our sense of community. We've become a village of strangers.

So is that a bad thing?

Ask any local elected official or civic leader and you'll hear about the new challenges they are facing. Volunteers are seemingly becoming more rare. Decisions are harder to make. Our core of business leaders is dwindling. Support for 'local' efforts and businesses is suffering. What can we do?

In "Re-Discovering Community" I look at the challenges that our communities are facing and then offer a new perspective on the directions we must take if we are to grow the future of our communities. This is a message of hope. We CAN...and WILL make a difference.

This program is ideal for chamber, civic and community economic development meetings.
