TOOL | Community Reference System

The Community Reference System – developed by Fred and Merrelyn Emery – is a highly participative way to engage a community in helping to select who attends a learning event or gathering on their behalf. It’s a process to allow a community to determine the participation of its members.

This tool is an effective way to build awareness and “buzz” about your gathering. It helps select who will attend the learning event or gathering on a companies' or group's behalf.
