We invite you to help us celebrate our 100th Anniversary by visiting our Broadlawns Community Clinic at Drake on June 4, 2024, from 5-7 pm! This will be a wonderful opportunity to see this clinic since its grand opening in September.
It will be an evening of great food, mocktails, and networking! Jill Wells will be presenting an in-depth overview of the beautiful art mural that she created.
In the lively ecosystem of a homeowners' association (HOA), community events play a crucial role in weaving the fabric of togetherness and camaraderie. At HOA Upstate, we see event planning as more than just organizing social gatherings; it's about creating memorable experiences that foster community spirit and enhance neighborly bonds. This blog post aims to offer valuable insights and practical tips on planning successful events for your HOA, turning them into cherished community highlights.

Thank you Creatives for Climate for the super connect last week at The Conduit Oslo. Lucy von Sturmer and Dickon Bonvik-Stone I admire your drive and passion for using the power of creative skills.
In a world that’s constantly changing, creative thinking isn’t just an asset; it's a necessity. Creative skills propel massive movements and are pivotal in driving successful transformations. How can your business leverage creativity to innovate and adapt? Are you encouraging lateral thinking to navigate complex challenges and seize new opportunities?
🤩 Innovation as a Differentiator: Creative thinking fuels innovation, setting businesses apart in competitive markets. It's crucial for developing unique products, services, and solutions that meet evolving customer needs.
🤩 Adaptability to Change: Creativity enhances a company’s flexibility in response to market shifts and challenges. Businesses that foster a creative culture are better equipped to pivot and adapt strategies quickly, maintaining relevance and continuity.
🤩 Problem Solving Efficiency: Creative approaches in problem-solving lead to more efficient and often more sustainable solutions. This not only improves operational efficiency but also drives better outcomes in project management and conflict resolution, crucial for scaling businesses.
I find these principles underscore the partnerships I have with organisations to drive growth and transformation.

It's events like this that bring a community together. #TheCrucible Warm Up Edition.
As a passionate event conceptualizer, I base the majority of my planning on how I want EVERYONE involved to feel when we finish.
Every detail ensures that EVERYONE involved experiences a profound sense of accomplishment, camaraderie, and joy.
MY UNIQUE approach stems from a DEEP UNDERSTANDING of JOURNEYS, EMPATHY, and an UNWAVERING COMMITMENT to creating unforgettable moments.
It's NOT just about the competition; it's about fostering a community where EVERYONE pushes their limits, celebrates achievements, and leaves with memories that inspire them long after the event ends.

There is so much potential for turning events/meetings/training into a community.
People can attend your event, meeting, workshop, etc., and still feel like they don't belong.
The difference between events and community lies in the depth of connection and engagement.
You'll know you have a community when:
- People know, value, and include each other.
- Everyone's voice is heard, and inclusion is second nature.
- Diversity in any form is appreciated in every team, project, and conversation.
Don't confuse events for community.
Read on for more on building communities that connect people.

IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!
THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS
Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community!
1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive?
2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity?
3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires?
Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions!
https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8
Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all
'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness
https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU
Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

The power of community in business is priceless. It's not just about individual or brand goals, but about cultivating long-term bonds and shared purposes. By creating moments where members feel a sense of belonging, and align with a common purpose, we reinforce the ties that bind us. We create a space that people don’t want to leave for fear of missing out and missing the people who make them feel connected.
This approach is bigger than just networking; it's about building a community that's united in its journey and purpose.
