In the research phase of creating a Community Incubation Centre. The intent is not to focus on a single industry or business sector, but to create or use models that assist with the renewal and reinvention of the community as a whole - build a structure or an enabling process that permits members of the community to use their collective community intelligence - any references you can send along on this topic of community incubation or similar models will be very helpful cheers

I am the Founder and Executive Director of an employment service for individuals with severe disabilities. Our agency and staff is committed to promoting the welfare and independence of the individuals we serve through employment. Our agency was founded in 1994 as a 501(c)3 organization and began with a committment to colloborate with all agecnies in the health care and human services fields,ie. state, local,federal,and other non-profits, to bridge the gap between the individuals and the services they are provided. By using the founding values of inclusion and independence, we hope to assist individuals to help themselves and become productive members of our society. By doing so, we feel that we are adding to the continuum of care within the healthcare systems and assisting agencies, public and private, to work together.
