An Honor Roll, now with 38 programs, was established to publicly recognize others and support programs that are consistent with the community s vision. The Community s goal was to use research, quantitative data and a broad-based visioning and participatory process to identify and gain consensus on priority community needs and problems and identify resources to address them. Each area has a task force whose role is to continue to review needs and initiatives related to the area. Each of the 37 projects has a team headed by a captain. The teams are responsible for accomplishment.
Every decision is based on information, dialogue and reaching consensus.
A new skill learned by many has been meeting and agenda preparation and management. The project and stakeholders hold themselves publicly accountable. All Stakeholder meetings are publicized and open to all. A regular agenda item is to identify and recruit others. The vision and goals are reviewed to ensure they remain current and reflective of the broad community.
