Sarasota County's application highlighted three community-driven efforts, including:
- Our first-of a-kind public-private partnership with the National Cemetery Administration to create
Patriot Plaza at Sarasota National Cemetery and the community-driven
Legacy of Valor campaign to honor veterans and their families
- The "whole community" approach to leveraging our county's unique age demographic (the oldest county in the U.S.) as an asset to create the
Institute for the Ages, a global test-bed for aging innovations
- The great example of libraries as transformational centers of community as illustrated by the
North Sarasota Library
On June 14-16 our community delegation will convene in Denver, Colo., to present and share about our community impact programs (in 10 whirlwind minutes!)
As the title of this post suggests, we'll be convening in Denver in very good company. The other finalist 19 communities include:
THE PATTERSON FOUNDATION BLOG NETWORK
