How to Create A Connected Community

Send us a Text Message.

The downside of focusing too much on diversity and inclusion is you highlight the individual apart from the whole. Instead of building a community, you risk fracturing a community. That is the foundation of this episode. How do we get back to a time-tested and proven concept of community?
Meet Cormac Russell, co-author of "The Connected Community: Discovering the Health, Wealth, and Power of Neighborhoods." He is a veteran practitioner of asset-based community development (ABCD) with experience in 36 countries. A social explorer, author, speaker, and managing director of Nurture Development, he sits on the faculty of the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute, at DePaul University, Chicago.
