Community residents of every type are invited to join with a local non-profit agency this week and help shape the path of their organization.
Community Action is hosting a focus group Thursday afternoon in hopes of getting a fresh perspective of the community needs. Executive Director Alison Rumler-Gomez says they are seeking community members, leaders and business owners to join them.
Rumler-Gomez says getting a good turnout for the focus groups is often a challenge and is hoping anyone interested will contact her to be a part of the process.
The focus groups are very important to the yearly strategic planning process for Community Action. Rumler-Gomez indicates it is a culmination of a lot of research they do throughout the first half of the year.
Rumler-Gomez says the focus group not only provides them with great information and insight, but it can be an introduction to Community Action for a lot of people. She adds you don't have to be involved in Community Action to participate.
To learn how to participate in the focus group set for Thursday, contact Rumler-Gomez by calling 217-732-2159.
