A great woman once said “It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.

Summer is upon us and so too is the last session of Becoming a Community Builder. In this sixth and final session Ian will explore Building Communities Through Effective Planning.
The community development approach to planning has proven to be the most effective in creating great plans that have stakeholder buy-in and actually produce meaningful solutions to real problems. So if we want to be a Community Builder we better know how to be a catalyst and convener for effective planning to occur. Join us and enhance this much needed tool in your tool kit!
