Who I am Use of CTB
I'm a retired software developer with 10 years of experience in software process improvement and organizational change. I've gotten involved with a local group that is trying to save an old school that was donated to their town, because the town wants to make it "surplus". They'll give it to a non-profit, but the group hasn't been around long enough to establish itself that way.
The local Grange has stepped in to be the non-profit, but they only have six members, and when they demonstrated what a Grange meeting was like, the other members of the group didn't like the ritual and structure.
Lots of problems to deal with, and a deadline of November 1st to deal with.
I'm going to tell the leaders of the group about your web site and encourage them to use your approach and tools. I don't know if that will happen, but I think it gives us a chance at establishing a relationship with a 501c3 that the town will approve of for the transfer.

I have included the link to the Community Tool Box (CTB) as a resource for a college course entitled: "Issues in Research" which I am teaching this summer. I am assigning various sections of the CTB and asking them to read, summarize, and then reflect on what they have learned. The students in this class will move on to a 1 year group and community project and will need the skills, knowledge and experience to conduct a human service research project in their community with 2-3 other classmates. I also conduct review sessions in class in which the students share their reflections on what they have learned on their own from the CTB.
