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

I am a graduate student and a 20 year employee of Jefferson County Dept. of Health, in the Division of Community Health. At UAB School of Public Health my area of interest is Health Behavior and Community Systems Building. For years I have worked under the direction of others to deliver behaviorial-based health promotion programs to the community. Though I did not have a masters degree,I was up-to-date, well read and attended every workshop and seminar I could find about community-based interventions. Finally, at age 57, I decided to attend graduate school at UABSOPH. I wanted to connect theory to the interventions we were trying to implement at the Department of Health. For years I've wondered, what is the missing component, why is it that nothing really works for any length of time? Contrary to everything that had been said in the Department; I am learning that the missing component is "TRUE" community involvement, throughout every phase of an interventions. From Assessment - Evaluation

I will use the CTB at work as a resource in implementation of the MAPP public health assessment process and as a resource for assignments in school. Greater assessibility adds value.
