[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

query.  A bit from me below.]

From: Clare Weber <cweber at csudh.edu>

Hello,

Can anyone suggest some references/sources on doing community engagement 
and/or approaches and models for engaging communities in local policy 
analysis and work.  I'm interested in the scholarly analysis, but more 
urgently I'm working to put together some information for a CBO that I'm 
working with. Anything on women's involvement would also be great to see.

Thank you.
Clare
