Share Your Knowledge, Tool, or Ideas through Community Development Practice
Community Development Practice is seeking manuscript submissions that provide new knowledge, tools, or ideas about community development that are useful to practitioners. Community Development Practice is a peer-reviewed publication that is published on-line by the Society. For an example of a recent article, visit http://associationsites.com/commdev/collection//Partnering%2Epdf
To better serve members and other community developers, CD Practice is expanding the range of submission options. You may submit manuscripts in one of several categories. Feature articles (such as the link above) present innovative processes or approaches to community development. In addition to describing an innovative approach, the articles describe the application in a case example. Selected Feature articles will also be published in a Practice Section of the Journal of the Community Development Society .
Innovative Programs describe new programs or projects of interest to community development practitioners. Tools of the Trade report on specific and novel techniques or methods that can be readily applied by community developers. Finally, Commentary is an opportunity to share a thought-provoking opinion on an issue of concern to community developers.
CD Practice is also seeking members, especially practitioners, to join its Editorial Board . The time commitment to serve on the Board is reasonable.
Please contact John Gruidl , CD Practice editor, Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs, 309-298-2984 or JJ-Gruidl@wiu.edu if you would like to discuss an article idea or serve on the Editorial Board.
