Community Action changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.
That is the Promise of Community Action and we heard and recited it several times last week at the National Community Action Partnership Annual Convention in Boston, Massachusetts. Hundreds of Community Action staff gathered from across the nation to learn, share, network and to celebrate.
Ray Suarez, Author and Senior Correspondent at PBS NewsHour, gave the opening address entitled, What's Wrong With This Picture? Media, Politics, and Diversity.
A favorite vendor was Beads in a Box. Every visit to the Exhibitor Hall showed the popularity of this vendor. This is a non-profit, hand designed jewelry business that raises discretionary funds for the Community Action Partnership of Mid-Nebraska. So, finally, women get to buy lovely items and feel good about it. And they were indeed doing a brisk business.
