Second, those working with these programs were contacted and invited to participate in the research project. Third, detailed surveys covering the programs goals, methods of delivery, and expected outcomes were sent to the director of each program. Fourth, the research team analyzed the survey results and are in the process of preparing reports on the project. Finally, the research team is preparing a book-length manuscript on community visioning programs managed by university agencies. Several publications are expected from this project.
Plans are to produce modules describing ways to create effective visioning programs in communities.
These modules also will focus on methods of evaluating and recording successes in these programs. State of the Art details the formats used in delivering visioning programs and approaches which have been most successful. This volume addresses strategic planning and visioning in communities, ways to evaluate success, and how this process fits within the broader context of rural community development is planned.
