Decatur Roundtables: Building A Community Together

This guide was created in the midst of significant community conflict. It asked how can we build our commitments to each other and to a healthy community where every person can choose to be engaged. It led to a variety of actions and led the way into a 10 year strategic plan two years later. In retrospect, the guide is sparse and simple. What I found most encouraging...with good structure and trained volunteer facilitators, it was a transformative event in our city.

Public Voices on Redevelopment

With city staff help, 100 citizens framed the issue of redevelopment in Virginia Beach, a city that doubled in size in the 1980s and now must consider changes in land use. The root issue was defined as "How do we create a ‘city vision’ and process for redevelopment that serves all interests?” and the choices were free market, government experts, or greater citizen input. We followed an NIF-like organization for the guide which is intended to support single forums.
