B R <br /> Invite regional and state agency personnel to your <br /> quarterly meetings. <br /> Communities with the best track records in economic <br /> development are shameless in taking full advantage of the <br /> various development programs offered by state and federal <br /> governments or by educational institutions. Invite represen- <br /> tatives of these groups to your quarterly meetings so they <br /> can team about your BR&E projects. Often they might be <br /> able to volunteer help in ways you would never dream of <br /> even asking for. Also ask them to describe one or two of <br /> their programs. Once you team of their programs,you <br /> might see connections to your priority projects that you <br /> were simply unaware of previously. <br /> Distribute one-page outline of projects often. <br /> Most projects have a fifty-page research report and an eight- <br /> page summary. Few people read either of these often. <br /> Some of the most effective projects have condensed it to <br /> one page that outlines the priority projects and people on the <br /> committees. This one-page summary can be distributed <br /> early and often. It serves both as a reminder of the projects <br /> and who to contact if you can help or have an idea." <br /> Keep publicizing your program. <br /> As you implement a project,let the world know about it. <br /> This rewards the volunteers who put in time and often helps <br /> establish your community as a place"on-the-go." <br /> 18 -- Local Leadership Team Manual <br />
