Webinar: Using the Community Capitals Framework to Understand and Measure Community Impact

Tuesday, September 27, 2011
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm (Central)

Do you want to better understand and report the impact that your campus-community partnerships are having on the
quality of life in your community?  Are you looking for a way to show how individual partnerships complement each
other and contribute to plans to achieve greater overall community and institutional goals?

Community Capitals is a framework that facilitates planning for and measuring community or organizational change. 
It is currently used around the world by community development practitioners and by researchers of asset-based
development.  Cornelia B. Flora, one of the originators of this framework, will present the concepts of natural,
cultural, human, social, political, financial and built capital and how they work together to sustain healthy
ecosystems, economic security, and social well-being.

Presenter

University. Previously she was holder of the Endowed Chair in Agricultural Systems at the University of Minnesota,

Professor at Kansas State University, and a program officer for the Ford Foundation. She is author and editor of a
number of recent books. Her newest book is Rural Communities: Legacy and Change, Second Edition.
Her current research addresses alternative strategies of community development and community-based natural resource
management in the light of changing socio-technical regimes and climate change. Her Bachelor of Arts degree is from
