As human capital is increasingly recognized as a key determinant in community and economic development success, we continue to see more strategic plans (and fundraising campaigns) focused on education initiatives and talent attraction.  While there is no shortage of research, advice, and best practice examples available, many communities and organizations still struggle with how to approach the issue.  We hope the following links will provide some food for thought, some practical examples of what communities are doing, and maybe even some encouragement to pursue a more aggressive strategy in your community.  And when that strategy requires more resources than current budgets can provide,  we can help.
