Dear Colleagues, Ever wonder why you have to wait so long to get a plumber, when you call for one?  What about an electrician?  What about having to wait weeks and weeks for your mechanic to have the time available to attend to your car?  𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 -- those skills that make our lives livable in so many ways.  Most often, these are careers for which one does not need a college education.  As a result, young adults can get a lucrative, high-paying job in hundreds of trades and not emerge from four years of college education with debt and a degree which is hard to market. 𝗕𝘂𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀.  𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟮𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲.  𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆. SkillsUSA Illinois is an organization on the move and is at the center of promoting the trades amongst high schools here in Illinois! As Senior Counsel for ACB - American City Bureau, Inc. , I have had the privilege of working with the team at SkillsUSA Illinois since January.  The positive impact that the Organization has on the lives of young adults who are seeking a career in the trades is phenomenal.  These positions are two great opportunities to get involved with a budding philanthropic services area, as we build it from scratch within the Organization.

There’s no ONE way to do community engagement, and there’s no one job title for a journalist who is also a community engagement practitioner. What’s the difference between an engagement editor and a producer? Or an engagement specialist? Or a reporter? What do any of these things mean? This “community engagement industry” is in its early stages, and is just beginning to define these jobs. That's good, right? Because you have a lot of freedom to define things yourself. It can also be overwhelming. Instead of starting with the job title, ask yourself: What do you need this person to do?
