...social cohesion and personal investment in the community
...they tend to share the core idea "that social networks have value"
...anything that facilitates individual or collective action, generated by networks of relationships, reciprocity, trust, and social norms
...the bonds of our communities have withered, and we are right to fear that this transformation has very real costs.

When you hand someone a photo album or a yearbook, the first thing they will do is seek out their own picture.
Knowing that, the question is: how often are you featuring the photo, name, needs or wants of your customers where everyone can see them?

Idea #13 Create a LipDub
“Lisa Brady, one of my favorite school superintendents, decided not to wait for the conversation to start on its own. She went into her community in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and invited parents into a book study of Tony Wagner’s The Global Achievement Gap. Over a six-month period, she went to parent meetings, coffees, and other informal gatherings to listen to what the parents reading the book had to say about it. They told her: We have to change. The Dobbs Ferry parents were among the first in New York to petition their state’s board of education to reduce the number of standardized tests.”
