Synopsis

Bring a Dish to Pass is an idea book with a simple but important message, everyone has the right and the responsibility to improve his or her community, and if we all work together⎯in a well-planned way, addressing the factors that affect all of our lives⎯we can make a difference for all families. As members of society, we are all resources and agents of change. Kent Roberts and Jay Newman, the authors of this “idea book”, passionately believe that the community improvement process is our best hope for confronting the challenges that face our communities. But before we can make change happen, we have to create an environment in which change is possible. We have to build the relationships, trust, and common language that make civic dialogue possible. And we have to ensure that we put the needs of the community before our personal interests. Roberts and Newman co-founded the National Civility Center had have spent close to two decades supporting communities who have an interest in restoring civility. Bring a Dish to Pass is chalk-full of case studies, stories from the field, best practices and ideas for how you can start a conversation in your community and become a catalyst for positive change.
