ConnectingABCD in Action Reaches Milestone: 1,000 Members from 46 Countries!
Dear ABCD in Action Member,
Last week Justine Jente joined our community. Justine is a Chicagoan with a background in urban history, fundraising, marketing, community building and arts.
She spent the past 10 years doing fundraising and marketing at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Introduced to ABCD by Institute Faculty member Luther Snow, Justine has been inspired to take an asset-based approach to work and life ever since. She is excited to put her creativity, collaboration and project execution skills to work in leveraging resources and building community.
When Justine joined ABCD in Action, she was the 1,000th member of our community! We are now a community of over 1,000 people from 46 countries! Since ABCD in Action was founded, we have had over 28,000 visits from people looking for ideas, sharing great stories, or engaging in discussions.
Our community is full of fascinating people doing amazing work in their communities. Right now there are active discussions exploring:
- Outcomes and Evaluation of ABCD.
- Interviewer training - going about it
- Cloud based asset mapping software
- Looking for other Floridians interested in ABCD
- ABCD in Native American Communities
- How Would ABCD Methodology Be More Effective in the Third World
- Learning ABCD: Conference or Videos/Workbooks?
- Resident Groups
- Barbeque in the Front Yard
and more!
ABCD in Actionisyourcommunity - a place where we can learn together and from each other about how to apply the principles and practices of Asset-Based Community Development. Please join the discussion and tell us how you draw upon existing community strengths to build stronger, more sustainable communities for the future.
In Celebration,
Deb Wisniewski & Ron Dwyer-Voss
