The Orton Family Foundation recently released a research report that examined how five small cities and towns (including Portsmouth, NH) addressed the challenges of stewarding local community engagement and planning (e.g., building greater sustainability into citizen-driven, values-based community engagement and planning).
The paper highlighted specific stewardship approaches the communities used to carry the success of their efforts far into the future. Specifically, it examined five elements of community stewardship:
- Honoring local values,
- Sustaining citizen engagement,
- Achieving visions and plans,
- Holding leaders accountable, and
- Responding to a changing world.
