Talk:Ted Howard (author)

message: Hi folks! I work with Ted Howard at the Democracy Collaborative, and there are some factual things on this page that need editing.  I don't want to violate WP:COI by doing these myself, but they are all uncontroversial factual edits.  
* In the first paragraph, the "Democracy Collaborative at the University of Maryland" should be changed to "Democracy Collaborative", since we are no longer affliated with UMD.  Source
* Also in the first paragraph, the text should be changed to indicate that Ted Howard served as the Steven Minter fellow at the Cleveland Foundation from 2010-2014.  
* The link for Ted's homepage in the side box should be pointed at 
* Residence in the sidebar should be changed to Cleveland, Ohio.
* The publications section could be updated to include the reports Ted has co-authored:
** The Anchor Dashboard: Aligning Institutional Practice to Meet Low-Income Community Needs
** The Anchor Mission: Leveraging the Power of Anchor Institutions to Build Community Wealth
* The public speaking section could be updated to include recent talks at the Clinton Global Initiative-America, the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City, the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, the Co-operatives United World Conference (Manchester, England), various regional Federal Reserve Banks, as well as at universities including the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, MIT, Georgetown, Oberlin, Michigan State and the Ohio State University. Source
* The awards section could indicate that CFED named him an Innovative Idea Champion in 2010 
I also think it would be ideal if Ted's Wikipedia page correctly reflected his focus over the past decade on "anchor institutions" as potential drivers of community wealth building.  If I was editing it directly, I'd include a header "Anchor Institutions", and under it put something like "In presentations to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and to the regional Federal Reserve Banks, Ted Howard has made the case that nonprofit anchor institutions like hospitals and universities can play a key role in economic development in low-income communities.  In an interview published by ICIC, Howard defined anchor institutions and their relationship to their surrounding communities as:
...nonprofit or public institutions that are critical community assets and unlikely to relocate because of their mission, invested capital and customer relationships. The most prominent types of anchors are “eds and meds” (universities and hospitals), but others that are included in the mix include local governments, community foundations, and cultural and faith-based institutions.  Unlike many corporations that come and go from communities, anchors are rooted in place and tend to stay put. They are “sticky capital.” As a result, anchors have greater incentives to focus on the long-term vitality of the place in which they reside.
