November 8
You may recall a visit from Roger Brooks that took place in our community the first week of April. Well, good news, we have the final assessment! VIEW FINAL REPORT
Just to remind you of what it is they do and why Roger was asked to visit, here is a quick intro from his website on community assessments: www.rogerbrooksinternational.com
Why does your community need an assessment?
One of the most powerful features of the Roger Brooks’ Community Assessment Program is its fresh, objective viewpoint – a thorough review of your community through the eyes of a first-time visitor. Tens of thousands of people come into communities for the first time each year. They’re considering sites for business and industry or they’re assessing whether this is a place where they’d like to live, work or visit. What are their perceptions? What do they see and what do they miss? Is the community doing all it can to “close the sale?” Are businesses missing chances to pull people in the door? What opportunities are passing you by?
What it is the community assessment all about?
Vibrant communities that offer great quality of life for their residents, a thriving business climate, and visitor appeal don’t just happen by themselves. They need careful planning based on an honest, objective foundation.
More than 700 places throughout North America have hired Roger Brooks to complete Opportunity Assessments – his most popular program − because they want to become outstanding destinations. They know they’re missing vital opportunities, but on their own they “can’t see the forest for the trees.”
Customers have enthusiastically said they’ve received more benefit from Roger’s Assessment than any other plan they’ve ever commissioned.
How would Roger assess your community?
Roger’s multi-day assessment includes a photographic review of 60 critical items – all of which play a role in making your community (or collection of communities) the destination of choice as a place to invest in, move to, establish a business in, or to visit as the visitor destination of choice. Each Assessment & Findings Workshop provides the community with dozens of ideas and things that can be done today to make a difference tomorrow based on the review of these 60 critical ingredients that ultimately spell success.
