Back when I was a kid growing up in the Deep South, we used to sit under grandmother's dining room table, sharing ghost stories after dinner. That got me hooked on storytelling. As a Presbyterian Minister and community building consultant, my work brings me in contact with community leaders who are mobilizing others to make a positive difference in so many communities around the United States and the world. Building Communities of Hope highlights some of these incredible people and amazing communities. People who are community builders build upon community assets, bring others to the table and create networks of compassion.Organizations that serve communities, like healthcare systems and schools, can be anchors in communities. At my age, I'm finding it increasingly important to support people and organizations that overcome obstacles to create long-lasting positive change. We can overcome challenges, inequities, and disasters when we mobilize for collective impact. It's a wild and wonderful ride!<br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Building-Communities-Hope-People-Positive/dp/1952681006/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=building+communities+of+hope+egan&qid=1596515652&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">communities of hope</a><br />Good Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11177904843845863500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31268138.post-12098602911014062472020-08-06T13:56:54.646-04:002020-08-06T13:56:54.646-04:00Biography
