New Book Helps Create Winning Communities in 90 Days

Proven, Practical Guide Shows Communities How to Thrive by Turning Visions
into Reality

CARMEL, Ind., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Every day, America's cities, towns
and counties must tackle issues such as improving education, job growth, and
government and social services. To help these communities as they struggle
with change and look to the future, a new book can help them become a success
story. In "90 Days to a Winning Community: A Guide to Achieving your Community
Vision" (published by AuthorHouse -- http://www.authorhouse.com), author James
T. Dittoe gives an inspirational and practical how-to guide to action planning
for community leaders.
Based on a system that has repeatedly delivered real results in actual
communities, "90 Days to a Winning Community" explains the ideas behind the
system, highlighting several community success stories. A workbook portion
outlines steps communities can follow to become Winning Communities, and
includes sample timelines, agendas, worksheets and progress reports that other
Winning Communities used during their transformations.
Dittoe founded Winning Communities, Inc. in 1994 to help cities, towns and
counties across America envision the future and develop community goals and
action plans for achievement. With more than 30 years' experience in community
and economic development, his work has led to the building of highways,
airports, revitalized downtowns, education foundations and other value-added
projects, helping local economies gain thousands of jobs and millions of
dollars of capital.
"The exciting part is that this book can help many struggling communities
achieve great things if they listen to the inspirational messages, hear the
stories from the communities who are 'doing things' and follow the action
steps outlined," said Dittoe. "It helps to inspire leaders at the local level
and should be required reading for any leadership group."
