2005 Working Session on Community Capitals Framework: Research, Evaluation, Practice

Ames, Iowa
December 12-13, 2005

The North Central Regional Center for Rural Development hosted a workshop, Community Capitals Framework: Research, Evaluation, Practice, to discuss the current application of the community capitals framework in community outreach and research activities. The program included opportunities to learn from one another on the use of the Framework in research, in evaluation work, and in the field. In structured work sessions we enhanced our understanding and built on our existing knowledge by learning how the Framework is being used and by examining one another's experiences.
