Community and Economic Development 2007-2008

Today’s society is complex and challenging.  There are myriad social, environmental and economic opportunities and challenges facing communities and businesses of all types and sizes.  How do we engage each other in ways that benefit more than just a few special interests?  How do we proceed so that we can achieve important objectives, but not do so at the expense of other ones that we also value?  Is there a way of balancing a healthy economy, a healthy ecosystem and a healthy community?  If we find that balance, can we sustain it?

This year’s Building Communities Webinar Series tackles these important questions.  We address global, regional and local issues and challenge ourselves as both a community and as individuals.  Join us in discovering some of our constraints and uncovering the limitless potential we possess to overcome them.  If you care deeply about the economy and the viability of our businesses … if you care deeply about the ecological health of our planet … if you care deeply about the quality of life of our community – this webinar series is for you.  Join us to be enlightened, to be informed, to be challenged, and to be called to action!

Extension educators along with local elected and appointed officials working with communities on economic development and quality of life issues, including local business leaders, economic development professionals, and environmentalists.
