The Bank of I.D.E.A.S: Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Actions & Strategies
The Bank of I.D.E.A.S. is motivated by two passions:
  • the development of healthy, inclusive, sustainable and enterprising communities and local economies; and
  • the active participation and leadership by young men and women in the creation of such communities and economies.u

Here are just a few reasons we've visited the Bank of I.D.E.A.S website:

-- to see their beliefs about community development

-- to download their Guide to Hosting Community Conversations

-- to read or subscribe to their newsletter: Community and Economic Development Matters

-- and other fabulous resources
