Solid info but it didn't flow very well for me. Even though they say the book is not meant to be read cover to cover but referred to depending on issues/needs, it felt out of order for me. I would have started with foundational governance practices and built out from there.

A very useful tool for community organizing and leadership. Lots of worksheets and great suggestions and I like the three-part frame for community leadership: framing ideas, building relationships, mobilizing resources. The handbook itself is divided into these three areas with appropriate tools for each.

Will be sharing and recommending widely.
