A Brief Review of Last Week’s Case ClinicStakeholders: How might others view this situation?

• Many of Roanoke's best concerted efforts positively impacting the

community's health and well-being are conducted through local nonprofits.

• Unfortunately, the conventional working of a 501(c)(3)'s structure may actually constrict that organization's

capacity to contribute to the community.

• This reliance on external funds however, can result in misdirecting the

organization's efforts and compromising its overall effectiveness.

Roanoke Education Associations.

A Brief Review of Last Week’s Case ClinicLearning Threshold: What do we need to let go of? What do we need to

learn?We need to afford community stakeholders an opportunity to contribute their input in shaping our organizational agenda and

approach.

Key Learning Point

The shift from ego- to eco-system functionality appr

opriates a relational process of “agency”, not

merely one of “negotiation”.

"Health is defined through our genes, our biography, social context, and the structure and processes of the health system in which we operate. We cannot change our genes, but everything else – especially the structures and proc

essesof the system – is enacted lo

cally." excerpted quote by Dr. Gert Schmidt from, "

Breathing Life into a Dying System

"

Reflective Overview - IntentionWhat future are we trying to create?

Subsequently, it's our intent to forge communication and community relations that serve to inform the

innovation and design of ecosystems capable of

vitalizing Roanoke's well-being through distributed

ownership.

Reflective Overview - Learning ThresholdWhat do we need to let go of? What do we need to

learn? "Like other post-industrial cities straddling both the

Bible and Rust Belts though, the people here have

consequently been typified by Richard Florida in The Personality Map of Who's Your City as conscientious and agreeable (Florida)."

Reflective Overview - Learning Threshold

What do we need to let go of? What do we need to learn?

"Some among a confused and desperate public respond with denial. Some pray for divine intervention. Some look for ways to profit from the crisis. Some, inspired by an emerging new vision of human possibility, work to heal our human relationships with one another and nature in a bold effort to turn the human course." excerpt and

inset from, David Korten's, "A New Story for a New Economy"

"Own the Change: Building Economic Democracy One

Worker Co-op at a Time is a short documentary meant to give an overview of what a worker co-op is, how it can

transform lives and communities, and the realities

of starting one. Watch as we go through concrete steps for

building economic alternatives by creating worker-owned

cooperatives" excerpt from TESA's,

page.

Reflective Overview: HelpWhere do we need input or help?

"But then I started looking at domestic economic

development, and economic development in Black

communities. I started looking into actual alternatives,

particularly for community economic development. That’s

when I focused my work on how to do real community-based economic development that meant community-owned, community-initiated, real

grassroots democracy, and prosperity for all—democratic

community economies." image and excerpt from,
