			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the operating environment for business continues to change, more is expected of companies, even when fewer resources are available.  As a result the bar for community involvement managers continues to rise.<span id="more-1087"></span> Community needs are great and there is an expectation to make a meaningful difference. Additionally community involvement managers must do more than align community programs with the business. They must add demonstrable value to the business. </p>
<p>Unfortunately you can&#8217;t do everything and you can&#8217;t be all things to all people. Choices must be made. So what choices will your company make?  What will you do? Perhaps more importantly, what WON&#8217;T you do?</p>
<p>The Boston College Center&#8217;s course <a href="http://www.bcccc.net/index.cfm?fuseaction=Coursecalendar.viewCourse&amp;course_ID=5711&amp;master=0&amp;pageid=1291">Developing a Community Involvement Strategy</a> will help you create or refine your community involvement program to provide maximum value to the community and to the company. This highly interactive workshop will provide a proven process to move your community involvement program to a higher level of impact.  You will also work with peers in applying the concepts discussed, explore best practices and developing real strategies to remove  obstacles to achieving exceptional performance. </p>
<p>Making informed choices, doing more with less and increasing impact are critical to continued success in community involvement, now more than ever before.</p>
