Smart Communities: How Citizens and Local Leaders Can Use Strategic Thinking to Build a Brighter Fut

Event Details

Suzanne W. Morse, executive director of the Pew Partnership for Civic Change, has studied the elements of community success, and argues in her book that seven high-leverage points are critical to community change: investing right the first time, working together, building on community strengths, practicing democracy, preserving the past, growing leaders, and inventing a bright future. Charlottesville is among the cities studied. Morse earned her bachelor of arts and doctor of philosophy degrees from The University of Alabama.
