SEE THE FACTS
Communities need tools like those illustrated below to clarify and diagnose civic issues, identify opportunities for change, and chart a promising course for the future.
SAMPLE TOOLS
VISION
A comprehensive vision for civic leaders and public executives that synthesizes proposed strategies and provides a guidepost for a civic leadership group or new administration and their members, supporters and advocates.
WATCH
Brief, current diagnoses of critical civic challenges organized around data-driven strategic targets covering the full range of civic issues, from education to infrastructure, tailored to each state, region and locality.
STORIES
Simple, evocative stories about ordinary people to elucidate public policy issues, enable people to see issues through the eyes of others and suggest a real world path to progress (especially for citizens who lack the time to wade through lengthy reports).
PROFILE
A one-page snapshot designed to give curious citizens a quick synopsis of a civic entity (e.g., state agency, city or school district) or program (e.g., day care, public health or transportation).
