Our broadest goal is to educate community members in the role they play in economic development.

We realized as a growing group of community leaders, we should know how we fit in economic development and the role we play. Most of us didn't even know.

We're hoping it's a self-sustaining network of people sharing good news with each other and creating a positive buzz. It's mostly about attitudes and helping people understand how their individual attitude impacts the community attitude and our ability to grow.

It's amazing how long the list grows as you ask different people because everyone perceives those great success stories in different ways. It's nice to start seeing that list grow. It's a great visual.

We are really trying to arm ourselves right now with all the facts and information, so when we go talk to people we'll be able to respond to them and actually have some meaningful conversation.

The last thing we want to do is get the project going and realize we missed a big step. We really want to see this make a big impact and we feel we will if can get everything together.
