Collaboration, Working Together Across Boundaries: The whole IS equal to more than the sum of the parts
June 29, 2005

This forum featured Dr. Susan Lloyd, Director, Building Community Capacity for the MacArthur Foundation. She is the author of “Collaborating for Change in Chicago” and the current program officer for the New Communities Program (Chicago’s comprehensive community development initiative). Ms. Lloyd’s focus also includes work to improve low-income neighborhoods and assist with the transformation of public housing. This forum will also included a panel of local leaders discussing how they put comprehensive community development ideas into action. This discussion was followed by time for participants to ask questions of Dr. Lloyd and the local panelists.
