Incourage eNews: July 2019 - mailchi.mp/incouragecf/in… In this edition: State invests $3M in the Tribune and Market Square Project

Thank you, Secretary Thompson for visiting the #TribuneBuilding today. We’re appreciative and proud of the fact that it’s the only non-state project to be funded due to its resident-driven focus. #tribunebuilding #ruralinnovation

Thank you @WPR for sharing the story of the Tribune Building Project! We feel strongly that the people that live in our community or any community must be engaged in shaping the kind of community they want to see in the future. #tribunebuilding #entrepreneur

Great News! Tribune receives $3 Million from State of WI! bit.ly/2LBfN7J Thank you @GovEvers @SenatorTestin @Krug4Assembly for your leadership & bi-partisan support. Most importantly, thank you to the residents & organizations who are working to shape our future!

"You cannot work on community without affecting economic development." @conniestewart #RuralInnovation

"I hope our community's future is an engaged, invigorated multi-generational diverse community united by our embrace of a healthy environment, full of nature, and bounded by just principles." -- Elizabeth, Sustainable Communities Working Group #blueprint #sustainablecommunities

I hope that our community is a place where people are willing to try new things and possibly fail but that failure is viewed as part of the process of learning and growing." @KeithJ059, Sustainable Communities Working Group Member, Nekoosa Resident, Principal at NHS #blueprint

Join Incourage & our national partners to learn about community investing. Guest speakers: Lisa Richter of @AvivarCapital, & Michael Miller of Colonial Consulting. They'll discuss community investing & its importance in achieving a sustainable community, bit.ly/2VsoiZa

We can be a leading example for other communities by creating the future we want to see. What are your ideas to make us the sustainable community that our region can be known for? #blueprint #sustainablecommunities

One thing we all agree on is that we care about our kids. We want the best possible future for them and we have a pretty clear conception of what that good future means. bit.ly/2PEW9rt What does a good future mean to you? #blueprint #sustainablecommunities #wisconsin

“Sustainable" means different things to different people. Together, we’ll be talking more about what sustainability means to us as we create our blueprint for a sustainable community. What does it mean to you? #blueprint #sustainablecommunities

Using all kinds of knowledge means we give equal respect to different kinds of knowledge, whether it's from technical training, formal education, life experiences, spiritual practices or intuition. When we do this, we open up more possibilities for brilliant ideas. #knowledge

Incourage has seen that when we ask residents to share their ideas, breakthrough solutions emerge. As we look for new solutions to old problems, we'll use the practices of breakout innovation to create change for the future. More: bit.ly/2qOUupf #breakoutinnovation

Testing solutions early & often means that we share and test out an idea for a solution as soon as we have it, even if it's only a rough draft or first step. We break down the solution into small steps, and we share and test our proposed ideas for each step.

Including all points of view means that we value the diversity in our communities. We need everyone's perspective for the smartest solutions. We must bring a diverse group into our process and make sure that all feel safe and respected to share their particular point of view.
