Notes de l'éditeur
- • Respect other people, their ideas and opinions• Actively listen – don’t interrupt or talk over others.• Help everyone get a chance to speak.• Be concise and stay on topic.• Stay engaged - no side conversations; turn of cellphones.• Personal stories stay in the group.• Speak for yourself, not for others.• It’s OK to disagree, but don’t make it personal.• These are everybody’s agreements and it’s up to each of you that they’re followed.

- You might be thinking “so what?”
- Take Rochester, VT. Hurricane Irene cut Rochester off completely from the outside world and washed away much of the town’s physical infrastructure – homes, bridges, roads, power lines, and even the cemetery.
- But because the town had a strong civic infrastructure, residents had soon built their own makeshift roads and bridges, identified neighbors who needed everything from medicine to diapers, and constructed new ATV routes over the mountains to go and get the help the community needed.
- Newport Main Street… Newport’s form-based code is a good example of the community coming together to define what it wants and take control of the way future development will make the town look and feel.
- (economic uncertainty)

- Park(ing) Day – Newport has done this for several years now.
- Photo of the Manchester, VT Youth Commission. Manchester appointed high school students to each of its town boards and commissions – mostly as full voting members.
- Map community networks; Involve leaders of those networks;‘Who is least likely to participate?’Use online as well as f2f connections;Follow up
- No more than 12 people per group; Facilitator who is impartial (doesn’t give opinions); Start with people describing their experiences;Lay out options; Help people plan for action.
- Sometimes this means action by citizens that is seeded by gov’t with small grants
- Don’t forget fun!
- We’ve given you a taste of what civic infrastructure is and what it can do for your community. This afternoon, each of the CommunityMatters partners will dive into a signature dish… we each specialize in building different aspects of civic infrastructure….
