Hello!

November in the U.S. means Thanksgiving Day, a time for gratitude. Here at the Community-Driven Institute, we try to share our gratitude throughout the whole year - through the courses we teach, the books we have written - pretty much everything we do!

We hope that gratitude shows in the things we share with you each month. We are grateful for the work you are doing to make your community an extraordinary place to live.
