You believe in Asset-Based Community Development. Not only does it make sense to you, it touches your heart. You and others in your community have begun the work, perhaps mapping the assets of individuals or creating associational inventories. It's almost like you've been on a quest to discover all those community assets. You'd love to talk to others about your experience, share common successes and challenges, decide where to go from here, and how to take the work further. Center for Collaborative Planning, home of the California ABCD Institute, is offering a way to do just that.
