CAN Inventory of Resources
This discussion focuses on creating an inventory of assets -- tangible and intangible -- that are manifest as resources that can be utilized in accomplishing the work of CAN. Please look this list over and let me know is missing or should be removed. Thanks! The six categories of resources identified are:
1. Human Resource
2. Interactive Resources
3. Events
4. Physical Resources
5. Media
6. Member Services
1. Human Resources
Perhaps our most critical asset is the combined network of relationships that we represent; this includes members as well as prospective members. These human resources show up as databases or lists of people and contact information that could be used to invite them to participate, i.e. volunteer, attend, or join the network. We have:
• 500 plus members of the CAN Social Network.
• 600 plus people who signed up for a CAN newsletter on the iContact list.
• There were sign up lists from CAN events.
• Members of our leadership group also have lists of potential members (e.g. NICO, Seeds of Compassion, Interra, etc.).
What other lists of participants do we have?
2. Interactive Resources
There are a number of websites that have some relationship to CAN, here is a list:
• The Compassionate Action Network Ning Social Network
• WiserEarth Community Directory
• Seeds of Compassion website that has a social network with 369 people
• SoC lists as "Sprouts" CAN plus:
o Roots of Empathy

o Bellingham Compassion Movement
• Wiki.Seeds of Compassion

Member Services could offer: Resource Matchup
ie: I post what I want to offer; Others post what they NEED. That way individuals who are coaches, teachers, consultants, videographers, etc. can list themselves and what they have to offer, and people who want Help can look there to try to get it.
Stadler house is also available for smallish meetings in the North end. -

The article, "The Culture of Cruelty" by Henry Giroux can be googled and/or easily read on truthout.org where it was originally published.
Henry A. Giroux holds the Global TV Network chair in English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University in Canada. His most recent books include "Take Back Higher Education" (co-authored with Susan Searls Giroux, 2006), "The University in Chains: Confronting the Military-Industrial-Academic Complex" (2007) and "Against the Terror of Neoliberalism: Politics Beyond the Age of Greed" (2008). His newest book, "Youth in a Suspect Society: Beyond the Politics of Disposability," will be published by Palgrave Mcmillan in 2009. -

Thanks for giving clarity to a lot of information, Jon. Something missing either under Media or Services; a media mentor service or tutorial section. The better versed our members are, the easier it is to move us all towards our highest potential.

The Bellingham Compassion Movement is establishing three traditional events focusing on Compassionate Action and taking place on the Fall and Spring Equinox and the Winter Solstice.
The delightful and important aspect of these events is the way that they support an emergent leadership model. -

I would love to be the Virtual Community Organizer providing CAN with how to videos. Starting in January I'm going to be posting between 3 - 5 videos a week and can commit to uploading them to CAN : )
