A reminder that we will soon be moving to a new membership based site with the merger of the ABCD Institute website and ABCDinAction. The domain- abcdinaction.org will soon redirect to the new site.
The site is being developed here: abcdinstitute.clubexpress.com. We are currently rolling out membership and testing out the features of the site. Membership is a sliding fee scale, including a fee waived option.
Sessions have been scheduled and registration is open for the 2022 ABCD Unconference. This is a free event that last 48 hours over Zoom (you do not need to attend all 48 hours). Connect with other ABCD practitioners.
2nd Rural Community of Practice Offering
We are now offering a second option for Rural ABCD Practitioners to meet in a Community of Practice format. This group will meet every other month on the 3rd Monday/Tuesday (check your time zone) at a time that works for those that might not have been able to make the Thursday sessions. Topics and content will vary for each group but there will be an overall alignment between the two groups.
Please join us for the first discussion of the Community Capitals Framework in relation to Rural ABCD. The conversation will be around how practitioners have used CCF in their work and/or how it applies.

Posting this from a Facebook conversation where some students were seeking articles- specifically for assignments and such. Here is a working document that is from the Literature Review of my dissertation as well as other articles of note. http://tiny.cc/925inz
