Have you built a team of stakeholders who can effectively direct, coordinate and implement your community development plan?
How deep into the community does your stakeholder team reach?
Roland V. Anglin, a member of the National Housing Institute board, has some thoughts about why many community development efforts aren’t successful.
By broadening stakeholder participation, great strides can be made.
After all, community development isn’t a one-horse race.
Every person in the community has a stake in what occurs.
From Anglin’s perspective, the stakeholder team for a community development organization should include:
- An executive director
- Members of the board of directors
- Residents of the community
- Resource providers
For more information on Anglin’s community development ideas, read his article Stakeholder Community Development.
