Systemic change projects - where in North America?
The recent gathering of the Vincentian Family explored practical approaches for going beyond the mantra of “Systemic change.” As a service the Vincentian Family Collaborators have compiled a beginning database of Vincentian Family sponsored systemic change projects that are already up and running. Many thanks to MaryANn Dantuono for all the work involved in this.
