Innovation: What Can It Do for Your Community?

The nation's economic crisis brought down some mighty players during the last year. As the dominoes fell, community development professionals saw funding vanish and dreams fade. The future may be uncertain, but is it all doom and gloom? A recent conference sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis focused on innovation and its role in helping organizations survive, and thrive, despite the economy. This issue of Bridges is devoted to topics covered during the conference.
