They can provide vision, leadership and are catalysts for positive change in their local area. Town Team Commitments: 1. Be non-political 2. Proactive and positive leaders 3. Work for the whole community, not one or two interests 4. Independent of governments 5. Promote high-quality development
Cutting to the Chase … Governments need to let go of some control Communities need to take on more responsibilities
