To brainstorm and get ideas. This site has a lot of food for thought, but generic templates such as: Org. charts, Pert Chart and marketing templates would definitely increase it's usefulness to me. I realize other software offers these things, but they are not community health related and lack the specificity that I need.

Soy Director de Desarrollo Social de ZTE, empresa china fabricante de equipos de telecomunicaciones. Actualmente en mi pais Venezuela, se estan iniciando planes masivos de instalacion de infraestructura de telecomunicaciones a gran escala y tendremos la posibilidad de dotar de telefonos y internet a poblaciones "excluidas" del desarrollo y con poblacion estimada entre 500 y 2000 familias.

L adeseo usar como referencia a todas las actividades y procesos que estarian implicados en un objetivo de estas caracteristicas y, si contamos con los recursos, crear herramientas web que luego puedan ser usadas por las comunidades como herramientas del proceso.

Been a teacher for 10 years, and for the last 13 years as school administrator in different capacity, currently, my roles is Federal/Grants Director.

My husband & I pastored for 30 years before his health broke. In our late 60's, we started a public 501(c)(3) charity called Gleaners Dispatch, Inc. eight years ago, to rescue ("glean") excess fresh bread and fresh produce from area from the docks of area wholesale vendors and re-distribute ("dispatch") it free of charge to families in need (single parents, senior citizens, under-employed, etc).

We get no govt funding, and have a crew of 200+ unpaid volunteers that make over 75 gleaning trips with our 3 old trucks and 4 old vans every week. We gave away over $3.5 million wholesale value fresh food to over 220,000 last year - we are ALWAYS looking for ways to raise our operational funding to defray the costs of distribution. We do not charge for food, but we need to learn how to "get the word out of our need" for operational support. I look forward to reading everything you have on your site, and seeing if there is anything we can do to help other groups while learning ourselves.

I'm a retired soldier now working as an educator with the Combined Arms Center's Center for Army Leadership (CAL)

I came across the CTB while I was looking for ways CAL might be able to help or partner with KU. You have a great many useful tools here. Many of them are very similar to tools the Army uses to lead our people and manage our resources. The differences between your approaches and mine are valuable to me in that they broaden my perspective. I think there are opportunities for partnership between CAL and KU in some of the areas addressed in the CTB. I hope we can explore them. Congratulations on a great-looking site! Mark 913 758-3035
