This track is designed for teams of three to four people from one community. The sessions will draw on Dr. Grisham’s
thirty years of research in successful communities to learn the process and key elements in their triumphs. The community teams will discuss the basic principles of community and economic development with the goal of applying these principles to their own communities and developing strategies to improve their own places. Dr. Grisham will make himself available in the evenings and at mealtimes for communities that need time outside the track. In order to join this track you must be one of 3 to 4 representatives from your community. Call Brushy Fork for more information about bringing a team to the Institute.
Limit 8 community teams (approximately 30 people)
