Join us May 3 at 12pm for an interactive session: A New Tool to Improve our Communities: The Community Connections Index (CCI). This one-hour webinar is sponsored by the Telosa Community Foundation. The goal is to learn about and give feedback on a new, easy-to-use tool designed to help local governments, regional agencies, and city residents make better decisions about building connections that will contribute to stronger communities.      On May 3rd, we will discuss: ●     Are we asking the right questions as we develop this tool? ●     What might have been left out of this assessment tool? ●     Is there value for your community to use this tool? ●     What other dimensions should be included or considered in the assessment tool?   Speakers include our own Christa Daniels, Ph.D., AICP and Jon Mallon from the Telosa Community Foundation.
