I use the info to teach my students and also to gather more knowledge since I plan to open a poverty-alleviating NGO in the near future.

Overview and introduction of tool to C2000 teams in Cass and Jackson Coutnies, MO.

What would be great to see more of is how to execute certain tasks as they relate to the tactics of the overall strategy. How do you exactly (FOIL)information --Freedom of information act? How do you organize a press conference? How do you get papers to pick-up your press release? Organizers have a difficult time navigating the esoteric tidbits. The CTB is an awsome resource, I plan to spread the word. Please don't stop with the great work you are putting into the Community toolbox!

I am the Sexual Assault Multidisciplinary Action Response Team (SMART) Coordinator for Goodhue County, MN. I have been in the position for about 6 months, and am working with about 25 community professionals to write a Community Needs Assessment in 1-2 years. My Team represents five County disciplines: advocacy, corrections, law enforcement, medical, and legal (County Attorney). The goal is to create Best Practices protocols for the five professional groups in order to achieve our misssion: The Goodhue County SMART fosters a unified interagency, survivor centered, and culturally competent response to those experiencing sexual violence.

I am gathering information to better understand basic assessment processes, terminology, and crticial evaluation methodology.

I am a single mother of a teenage boy. I have a horrible disease that will continue to get worse for the rest of my life. I have a college degree I'll never get to use because of my disease so I do my best to be a good mom.

I would like to find a way to get my disease(chronic regional pain syndrome) noticed. Millions of people have the disease and are miss diagnossed or left feeling all alone. I want to find a way to help.

I am in Health Communication/Public Health with more than 15years community dev experience in Africa and lately in Asia

I am presently taking an on-line training in social management hoping to get involved with non-profits.

The CTB has helped me a lot when I was working as adviser to the Lae City government in Papua New Guinea. I used the materials in training the local leadership of the six districts to develop their plans and projects to develop their communities. Right now I'd like to use it here in Berlin, Germany. I'll see if it will also work out good here. Indeed the CTB has improved and it is now easier to navigate. Thank you.

I plan to use the CTB to assist me in writing my practicum/thesis project. I will be working with local chapters of a national organization, assisting them in identifying community health needs and developing action plans and/or a resource guide for their use in meeting the community's needs.

I like to see charts and venn diagrams that depict the narrative - not necessarily exclusively, but some are 'visual' learners. Also, are there sample curricula/ums somewhere that provide a snapshot of your extensive and valuable resource?

Stumbling on your website, I would say it has almost been the best thing that has happened to me surfing! It has given me a stepwise explanation on the rudiments of setting-up an NGO. Despite its tremendous assistance, I would like to see ready-made sample questionnaires on community assessment. Thank you.
