How have you used the Community Tool Box to support your work and make a difference?
It's a great tool. I am referring my international friends from Latin America and the Caribbean to the sections available in Spanish. Very Good. I would only add a section on interactive self-assessment, in which you can write the characteristics of your program, the inputs, outputs, and outcomes; and to be able to assess it. Like a diagnostic instrument.

How have you used the Community Tool Box to support your work and make a difference?
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.
