The goal of this program is to solve community problems by using the book 13 Ways to Kill Your Community to start conversations about change and progress within the community. The first meeting will focus on the introduction of the book and the structure of the book club, trying to make the club work for the participants.

“Some communities thrive and grow while others die with no hope for future generations. 13 Ways to Kill Your Community provides the tools to choose one or another option for your community. This is the only book on rural economic development! Even the most prosperous communities can improve and change for the better,” said John Ponikvar of Craig, Colorado.
