Absentee downtown building owners

Hi,

Has anyone run across any successful programs that engage absentee owners of downtown buildings in building improvements? Has anyone experienced a community that got people on board with a municipal design standards ordinance that could share some best practices that ease backlash to this type of proposal?

Andy Lewis – could you post this to your blog to facilitate and log responses? Anyone can go there once its posted with responses: http://ablewis.blogspot.com/.

Thanks everyone!
Amy

Inventory skills/Interests from potential volunteers

Hello Colleagues:

Does anyone have an example of a one page inventory skills sheet that can be completed by potential community volunteers? We are conducting a volunteer "job fair" type event and would like to help match potential volunteers with the opportunities that interest them the most. Thanks in advance for any information you provide.

Regards,

Art
