A Unified Voice Brings Higher Visibility
By involving the entire community, via study circles, leadership
training and the action group meetings it better addresses the issues
and situation within the community.
One of the projects from the Horizons program was the development
of a community center. At the city council meeting one individual stated
that he had heard no complaints about the current building. The co-chairs
present were able to present documented information from hundreds of
participants that stated the public did feel they wanted a new center.
This type of community involvement is what is needed to get things
accomplished in a small community. Additionally, by utilizing the program
we were able to work with several smaller local communities that
assisted in merging all of them together.
