All the partners directly dealt with body image and eating disorders issues in some way. Identifying more tasks In May 1998 the committee members slated a day to identify the tasks that they needed to complete prior to opening the centre. They made a list of chores and each member volunteered to do their share of the work. From May until September this work consumed the committee's time. By cultivating community resources, the centre became a reality.
Every community has resources that can be gathered for similar projects.
It is easier to attract partners once credibility and success have already been established and plans are clearly laid out. A committee with continuous influx of passionate members is a committee that is alive and can accomplish great things. Recommendations Research and assess your community before you begin planning. Be clear about where you are going and how you will get there. Recognize your successes.
