solutions for us at the state and national level. This morning Lars
will be sharing a few of this year’s highlights as well as what new
opportunities lay ahead of us.

1B A ROADMAP
TO COMMUNITY
IMPACT: HOW TO
MAKE THE
JOURNEY STEP
BY STEP
Scot Quintel, United Way of Marion County
Is your United Way wanting to move to Community Impact, but unsure
of the steps to take to get there? This session will explore a step
by step plan to move from traditional United Way funding models
to a Community Impact approach with a focus on partnerships and
initiatives that engage the community. We will discuss the specific
steps involved in the transition, the roles of staff and volunteers,
relationships with funded partners and communicating the change to
stakeholders and the broader community.
1C COMMUNITY
RHYTHMS: THE
FIVE STAGES OF
COMMUNITY LIFE
Mike Wood, The Harwood Institute
Why is it that some initiatives take off in one community but seem to
fall flat when you try to replicate them in other places? And how do
you best ensure that your collective efforts have the greatest chance
of taking hold in a community, flourishing and actually building the
conditions that make communities work? The five stages of community
life help explain why some communities move faster and others slower
when it comes to change.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Rich Harwood, Founder of The
Harwood Institute
Led, in part, by the example set by his parents – who built the
community’s first halfway house to support those with mental illness
following deinstitutionalization, re-energized the NAACP, spoke out for
the voiceless on urban renewal, and founded their local synagogue
– Rich grew up in a family that believed everyone in the community
should be seen and heard and treated with compassion. As a sick child,
he spent much of his childhood confined to hospital beds, while doctors
hovered over him speaking to each other about him, but never to him,
and there he learned first-hand the pain and loneliness of being neither
seen,norheard.
His parents’ example, along with those of mentors, coaches, and
teachers who reached out to him, and his deep faith, all left a lasting
impression on Rich, who vowed to dedicate his life to working so that all
people are seen heard and that, together, we can take our best shot at
creating a better society and making hope real for all people.

invitation for people and organizations to join us to become a catalyst
for change. - See more at: http://mainstreet.theharwoodinstitute.
