Frances Dunn Butterfoss, Ph.D., captured the attention of academics and practitioners everywhere with her landmark textbook, Coalitions and Partnerships in Community Health, which provided a comprehensive approach to coalitions.
Ignite! Getting Your Community Coalition Fired Up for Change is a more concise, user-friendly book geared for community practitioners, leaders, and activists who want to build and sustain innovative organizations and coalitions to improve the health and well-being of their communities.
Learn why sustaining and building a coalition is very much like planning, building, fueling, and sustaining a campfire, and get detailed guidance on how to:
• determine if coalition building is the best way to achieve your goals;
• pick the simplest structure to achieve your objective;
• build and sustain innovative organizations and community coalitions with the power to change policies, systems, and environments.
The book's four parts-Before You Build It, Build It, Make It Work, and Sustain It-provide practical strategies to build coalitions, as well as troops, clubs, neighborhood associations, and other organizations.
Whether you're a volunteer or professional, you'll get tools that make it easier to accomplish meaningful and lasting change with Ignite!
