++! to what Katie says. While it is important to network with colleges and
universities (priority to do so) there needs to be more infrastructure
building and strategy planning within OB!
That is why I am trying to do this participatory budgeting workshop....so
OB (with full participation) can develop strategic goals and plans, and
then allocate monies to make it happen.
Thanks,
Rita
