Publisher's Synopsis
What does community mean to you? Does community exist as a concept any longer? Or does the traditional concept need a transformation to reflect where we stand now, and more importantly, what the future holds? The stories, observations, questions, and core values presented in this book will enable you and your network(s) to examine how social networks create pathways for action. You will be urged to move beyond "why" we need community to "how" we go about building and sustaining community. And, you will examine what can break a community apart. At its heart, a vibrant community provides an environment for its members to explore, learn, fail, and thrive. It provides a safe place to land.
