Dr. James Burchfield: “Make Your Grassroots Group Fly”

We’ve all heard the famous quote from Margaret Mead about making change: ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.’ But how do we do this in today’s world? How do we draw a flightpath toward meaningful change? Join a conversation about making a voluntary association take off, stay the course, deal with turbulence, and with courage and perseverance, get somewhere where you want to go. Creating and sustaining a grassroots group is often difficult and slow going, but this conversation unfolds a map that can help groups of everyday people become a force to be reckoned with. Burchfield is the former Dean (retired), College of Forestry and Conservation, University of Montana.
