The Center for Neighborhoods welcomes Jim Diers, former director of
Seattle's Department of Neighborhoods and author of Neighbor Power, to town
this Monday, June 6, for a series of events highlighting Jim's experiences
with community empowerment efforts in Seattle.
During his tenure in Seattle as the first director of the Department of
Neighborhoods, the city's Neighborhood Matching Fund grew to support over
400 community self-help projects each year, while a community-driven
planning process involved 30,000 people. We've invited Jim to spend the
day in the Twin Cities to share the evolution of community involvement
processes in Seattle and to start a cross-city discussion of how
communities best build active and creative neighborhoods.
