As part of a wide-ranging panel on Inspiring Civic Engagement at the Sierra Solutions 2008, I spoke about using media for outreach and community building. Kris Hansen of Sierra College Truckee Campus moderated the session. John Chapman, board member of East Bay Community Foundation and the Greenbelt Alliance spoke about community input to land use decisions and Stacy Corless, Editor in Chief of Eastside Magazine told the story of starting the magazine with loads of community support and input. She also introduced us to Friends of the Inyo.
I challenged participants to take a simple step toward building their Web 2.0 capacity by sharing information about their work and their organizations here on the STS Blog. I look forward to this interactive follow-up to our session that outlined a wide variety of ways to effect positive change through collaborative business and environmental leadership throughout the Sierra Nevada.
Post a link to your website in the comments below. Point us to the best online information about how your organization will lead change in our region. Tell us your story.
I very much enjoyed meeting all of you and look forward to hearing from you right here online!

great step to challenge folks to take. a lot of us don't think about simple steps we might take to raise our profile through the new tools/pathways on the web
check out Up from the UnderStory, (http//:upfromtheunderstory.blogspot.com) an intergenerational story sharing project in rural Calaveras County that used media as a tool for building solidarity and momentum for community renewal.

Also, other groups with their own blogs?
Also, if your group already has its own blog, please also provide the URL here - I'd like to add your feed to Nevada County Voices ( http://ncvoices.us ), if it's relevant to N.C.
