A chapter and Quick Guide from the Heart & Soul Community Planning Handbook describe the varied roles a community planning Project Coordinator must fill and helps communities find the right person for the job.
Both a chapter and Quick Guide Selecting a Project Coordinator for Heart & Soul Community Planning, desribes the varied jobs a project coordinator must take on and walks through the process of finding a person to fill this role. While each community demands different characteristics from their project coordinator, this person must be a strong leader, in good standing with the local community, adaptable, positive, and committed. This Guide also lays out the skills necessary for such a leader and provides numerous examples of successful project coordinators in past projects.
In 2008, the Orton Family Foundation pioneered Heart & Soul Community Planning, a process that has so far been piloted in selected communities in New England and the Rocky Mountains. The Foundation is currently in the process of developing a H&S Handbook that describes the entire process, first explaining the reasoning behind Heart & Soul Community Planning, then walking through the steps to achieve an inclusive, enduring, long-term community plan. With detailed descriptions of new tools and methods and examples from on the ground, this handbook is a resource for planners and citizens alike.
