There are over 300,000 community associations, 90,000 government bodies, and 350,000 faith-based organizations in America. Most of us are in a family, participate in a business, engage in an association and sometimes attend citizen meetings. We need this! We need to participate because we need to belong. We need to be valued as a part of the solution, and not just part of the problem. I suggest three things that will improve your participation, as well as your interaction with other people who participate in associations, government bodies, businesses, organizations, and even in your family.
