I am looking for is a possible template how do decisions get made in a collaborative setting. So if two people are trying to decide about an issue an both voices have equal "power" but their ideas are not in alignment would you know of a process you can use to work through that.


I am envisioning that it could be a set of questions like:
What is best for the organization? Is it covered in the budget? Does it match the the organization's mandate? Is it ethical?
But not sure - was wondering if you have something on this

When collecting signatures for a petition, it is unclear to me where I am aloud to collect the signatures. For example, do I need to ask permission to collect in a plaza parking lot? Is it ok for someone to chase me off of convocation center grounds? What about a state park?

I have been researching and formulating MCOTS Modular Community Owned Transit Systems for a good while. In community Toolbox it is like having someone with a masters in community organizing. Would it be possible to work with an Advisor that can help me become We?

to get the pilot phase of capital investments done and paid off in 4-8 months with each community of 5,000 having $25,000,000 equity and [most/all] workers in the community can save $10,000 a year in commuting and not be landlocked to employment opportunities. these MCOTS cover a 60 mile radius.

My name is Dean Goddard from BC and have been investing in a property for sustainable long term care and am now ready to move to the next phase.

We grow food of outstanding quality with no pesticides, fungicides, or fertilizers. We have purchased a 23 acre ranch in Barriere, just North of Kamloops which has exceptional water and air quality. Last year we grew over 30 crops and realized about 4 tons of food, as a test and preparation of the fields. This year we would like to begin sharing the message to Canadian communities so we can begin developing the core group of individuals to start-up and operate. We have acquired the lands and invested over $200,000 to prepare the property for this intent. Now we need to complete the addition to the main home and start with a core group of individuals.

It is hoped this gives some idea of the multiple benefits of rural community care. It improves local farm land while also helping in a meaningful way to care for the aging population. We are however in need of determining the most effective retired individuals to form the core group. This requires great thought and effort to ensure the core group has similar emotional intelligence thinking, yet also has the complementary skills needed to start up and operate the facility. Loneliness and poverty are becoming epidemics while many others are yearning for a simple, active, and healthy way of life.

We are hoping to attract 100 seniors for this special event , and be able to have 5 seniors committed to our growth and expansion. This group would then be responsible for the 1-5 year plans while slowly expanding the senior and worker base. The first year will consist of 5 senior members and 3 co-workers (1 cook). The second year is planned for 9 seniors and 4 co-workers. Year 3 is to rezone and build additional dwellings surrounding the main facility which will house those needing 24 hour care and include the main dining room, theater room, and library.

We are starting our vegetable production with a June planting so we would like to have the special event on the Ranch for July 1st.

If you have any suggestions they are appreciated.

Hello CTB,

I am an research intern for a developing community health coalition. There seems to be a wealth of information on human resources and organizational structure. However, there seems to be a lack of information regarding the physical resources that a community coalition needs to house these human resources. If your organization could refer me to research regarding the concrete physical resources (I.E. space to have meetings in, space to store disaster relief or prevention materials, other material resources), or a sort of model supply logistics chain for health coalition building, it would be instrumental to our planning.
