Every once in a while, I stumble upon post on Social Media that elicits a "hell yeah."
That happened earlier this week when I was blessed with a 2nd level contact on LinkedIn named Stephen Eastridge, the Executive Director of the Jasper County IN Economic Development Organization:
"Economic development in rural communities is tricky. It often means focusing on 100 other things that have nothing to do with the metrics our board members or elected officials measure success by. Last week success looked like this. 6 artists from all over the country breathing vibrancy into our community. I’m grateful to be a part of this each year and excited to work with Cameron Moberg to continue to spread art throughout Jasper County."
And ain't that the truth for all of us in community development? Prove it, they say. Prove that you're moving the needle.
And you can't...but you know you have.
