Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.
~ Anthony J. D’Angelo
Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.
~ Rollo May
The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members, a heart of grace and soul generated by love.
~ Coretta Scott King
Community is much more than belonging to something; it’s about doing something together that makes belonging matter.
~ Brian Solis
Community – personal, social, shared governance, common culture, historical heritage, shared characteristics, shared interest, perceived uniqueness, common lives, shared ecology, joint possessions, joint enjoyment, joint liability, interactive, shared values, common policy, engagement, shared learning, communication, inclusive, inspiring, connection, courage! Perhaps only words but words to inspire thought!
What does community mean to you? Are you part of a community? Do you share your stories of community? Do you listen to stories of other communities? Are you part of your OWN community? Do you know what your community cares about?
BMG has built a community of Associates who are like-hearted and open to the stories of your communities. As BMG walks alongside, in your project, it is our intent to listen, value and understand!
