I was in Quincy and Tuscola, Illinois last week addressing Regional meetings of the Community Bankers Association of Illinois. The audience really contected with the message that change has affected the Heartland and they are doing something about it. Many of these community leaders have asked me to call them to set up an appointment to discuss the Winning Communities services of the faciliation of a community Vision Plan. They are most interested in the fact that we get results!
No plan is worth the investment unless action takes place. I read the following Indian proverb: "Call on God, but row away from the rocks." Successful communities are those that do just that!
