Community leadership is unique and unlike other positions.  Individuals motivate and inspire others to action.  They are insiders who can articulate the beliefs, hopes, and needs of their community.

A community partnership or “coalition” is a group of local partners who work together to solve shared problems impacting multiple sectors.  

Cultural competency or "equity, diversity and inclusion", is the understanding and appreciation of cultural differences and similarities within and between groups.
