Soul of the Community Launches
It is our pleasure to announce the launch of our latest client project, Soul of the Community.
Soul of the Community (SOTC) is three-year study conducted by Gallup of the 26 John S. and James L. Knight Foundation communities across the United States employing a fresh approach to determine the factors that attach residents to their communities and the role of community attachment in an area's economic growth and well-being. The study focuses on the emotional side of the connection between residents and their communities.
We had the help of some great folks on this project: Jesse Keyes, Courtney Patubo and Brian Oberkirch. We're pleased with the result of our combined efforts and we feel lucky to have worked with the Knight Foundation on such an important study.
