The Asset-Based Community Development Institute (ABCD) is at the center of a large and growing movement that considers local assets as the primary building blocks of sustainable community development. Building on the skills of local residents, the power of local associations, and the supportive functions of local institutions, asset-based community development draws upon existing community strengths to build stronger, more sustainable communities for the future.

In the past week I have had a huge breakthrough in the area I am most passionate about- child welfare reform- and so I will need to devote a significant portion of my time for the next month to that. BUT... I just wrote it in my calendar to follow up on hosting a global gathering in about a month! Thank you for developing a platform for people to network and work together so we can rebuild our communities and restore the value of being a good neighbor!
