Common Good Vermont: Nonprofit Maven TV: You Get What You Measure

Description

Common Good Vermont's Lauren-Glenn Davitian speaks with Melissa Levy an Associate of Yellow Wood Associates, Inc. since 2003. Community economic development is about recognizing, preserving, and growing community wealth in all its forms: human, financial, social, ecological, and physical (infrastructure). Our dream is a world where communities can live well off the income from their combined wealth while investing regularly in themselves to counteract depreciation. Our work in capacity building speaks directly to human and Social wealth, our green community technologies service is all about physical and ecological wealth, and our feasibility studies and economic and fiscal impact analyses incorporate all these dimensions of Community economy. Development is effective when it contributes to community self-determination, security, and resilience, improves quality of life, unlocks creativity and reveals new choices. We believe material sufficiency, not maximization, is the goal for community economies.
