Houston - ABCD Training

Wow what a great time being with such wonderful, caring, community-minded people! This happened in Houston Texas for me on August 13-14th.

I had the grand opportunity to provide these good folks our 2-day Asset-Based Community Development training. We had over 30 people there.

I continue to be amazed and thoroughly encouraged with how hungry people are to receive this sort of training...that is the principles and practices of ABCD. Just tons of confirmation that this is right-on-stuff for a wide spectrum of communities and neighborhoods.

One participant came up to me at the end of the first day to tell me, "Jeff I just about jumped out of my chair, when you talked about meeting people and listening to them in 'one-on-ones". I had this very thought just last week, 'I have got to go to my neighbors and talk with them'".

More was shared just like this from others!

My dear friend and colleague, George Montoya from the Communities First Association, joined me and team taught this group. I was blessed by George's presence and service to this Houston community.

Both George and I are very eager to see how the training helps add value to what is ALREADY good that is going on in a number of neighborhoods and communities in or near Houston. Go for it!
