***A high degree of enthusiasm and a strong sense of ownership are also
characteristics of clusters ready to embark on an intensive program of
growth. ***
More or less I can recognize enthusiasm but what does *ownership* refer to?

Dear Khazeh,

"Ownership" in this context means that we take personal responsibility for
what is happening in our local areas, rather than let someone else tell us
what to do or how we should do it.

I think what the ITC is trying to say is that we are moving away from our
rather ingrown community life. I would hope that's the case.

warmest, Susan
