***UPCOMING SATELLITE TELECONFERENCE***
THE PROGRESS OF OUR DREAMS: Assessing Sustainable Development for
Communities Large and Small
OCTOBER 9, 1995
1:30 - 3.:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time
Alan AtKisson will present an overview of the trend toward using
"sustainability" -- linking economic, environmental, and social well-being
-- as the core principle of community development. Using an assessment
framework developed by his firm, AtKisson & Associates, Inc., he will
introduce a comprehensive picture of what sustainable development means both
in theory and in practice, drawing on examples from around the Pacific
Northwest, the U.S., and the rest of the world. Although the case examples
discussed will focus primarily on community development, the assessment
framework can also be used to assess the contributions individual projects,
such as those in agricultural and natural resources, make to overall the
sustainability of human and ecological systems. The satellite teleconference
will include an opportunity for questions and audience discussion via
telephone and fax. 1-800 numbers will be announced at the beginning of the
broadcast.
Alan AtKisson is president of AtKisson & Associates, Inc., a consulting
firm that assists governments, businesses, and civic organizations in making
the transition to sustainable development. He is a co-founder of the
volunteer Sustainable Seattle civic forum, and former executive editor of In
Context, the award-winning quarterly journal of sustainability.
