We live in an age described by futurist Alvin Toffler when society is undergoing an enormous structural change, one where the accelerated rate of technological and social change is leaving many individuals and communities disconnected and suffering from shattering stress and disorientation. The shape and fate of cities, towns and communities hangs in the balance.
There has never been a more pressing time when civic leadership has been called for, when strength of civic character and resolve have been tested, and when keen analysis and visionary civic planning are needed.
Sylvia Leach Lovely invites you to find direction amidst the shaking of foundations, to learn new ways of connecting with effective leaders, to seek constructive means of building communities, companies, and to discover the bedrock that sound analysis and decision-making can provide for these times.
