discussion of 'The State of Our
Union' |
 |

Starting today, Rich Harwood will be
publishing a
four-part series of blog entries on "The State
of Our
Union," leading up to President Bush's annual
address
to Congress Jan. 31. The Harwood Institute
invites
you to participate in this important
conversation by
visiting Rich's blog,
www.richardharwood.org, and
commenting on this and other pieces that will
appear
this week.

| A special
online event for community foundations coming
up tomorrow |
|
|
How can community foundations build the civic
strength of the communities they serve and
fulfill
their missions with excellence during a time
when
people are retreating from public life and
politics?
That is the question Rich Rich Harwood
will
address
tomorrow at 11 a.m. EST on a live Web cast,
sponsored by Community Foundations of America
and
open to all staff, board members, and
executives of
community foundations. The discussion will be
based
on findings in Rich's latest book, Hope
Unraveled:
The People's Retreat and Our Way Back.

If you are interested in learning how to get
beyond
the negative conditions in today's public life
that lead
people to retreat so that you and your
organization
can build the collective will for action, then
join us for
The Harwood Public Innovators Lab.
The lab
represents the broadest exposure of Harwood
tools
and frameworks ever assembled and is designed
to
produce a profound shift in how you think about
your
community-based work.
A new page of details about the four-day
experience,
with quotes from past attendees, is now
available at
our Web
site.
The first lab is set for May 21-25 at
the Pier 5
Hotel in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. There are
only slots
available for a small group, so please register
early to
secure your spot.

- We believe in the
innate
goodness of individuals
and the possibility
for
change.
- We seek for people to imagine
and act for
the
public good so that we can all do
the
unfinished
work
of our communities and the nation.
- Together, we must create
the conditions for
people to tap their potential to make a difference
and
join together to build a common future.
- Our aim is to ignite a
sense of possibility
and
hope in America.
- We must create more
advocates for
public
life.

Redeeming Hope
blog
An authentic voice
for
public
life
To what extent do we as a society
value truth
today – and when is escapism okay, and when
does
it undermine our need to square with reality?
What is
the state of our union when it comes to truth?
