Community Solutions!

I just heard that Steve Patrick, a very creative program officer (before the Gates Foundation, he worked at the NM Community Foundation) has been appointed the Executive Director of the newly formed Aspen Forum for Community Solutions.

The Aspen Forum is a direct outgrowth from the recent White House Council for Community Solutions. The Forum is Chaired by Melody Barnes. One of the priority areas of focus for the AFCS will be the establishment of the Opportunity Youth Incentive Fund – a funding collaborative focused on supporting communities that come together to collaborate across systems to better support low income youth (16-24) who are out of school and out of work…

Way to go Steve!
