Model Community Candidates

The sponsors have identified three regions based on their interest and unique programs:

Representatives from these model communities will be encouraged to foster a broad-based social movement that will significantly improve the state of family bonding and attachment across all levels of society.

Participants from each of these communities will be encouraged to meet together during the Summit, and continue to meet and expand their work after the Summit as they create and implement community-specific action plans.

Successful collaborative groups may then become aTLC "model community action teams." These teams and their communities can serve as models for other communities.

Our plan is to foster ongoing communication among these teams and to reassemble them in 2004 to evaluate and learn what has been accomplished since the Summit. Based on their success, other communities across North America will be invited to join this movement.
