Convening Whole of Community:
Integrating Approaches and Practices to Address Conflicts
in a Chaotic World
The year 2009 marks another major point in the evolution of ACR in which we continue to build and strengthen our field, the connections within and across our practice areas and our chapters, as well as reach outside our communities and comfort zones.
"Whole of Community" can be defined as a concept in which groups, organizations, or individuals within society come together around a common purpose. Those who come together may be from diverse backgrounds, i.e., experiential, ethnic, cultural, demographic, with different goals or values but recognize that they can have a far greater impact by working together rather than individually. This idea requires new kinds of dialogue within the multiple areas of society in which each one of us moves.
