Who are the key players  in the broad arena of community development and investment? Who are the stakeholders setting policy, shaping opinions,  inspiring public dialogue, establishing trends, presenting reports and surveys?  Who are the innovators helping to build neighborhoods and communities, and engaging in the battle for economic fairness and social equality?  This section of the Community Investment Network focuses on these Stakeholders and third parties – including their profiles and their reports, studies, publications, speeches and public statements.

Sections:

This section contains two parts -- Profiles of various Stakeholders divided into specific broad interest areas or categories, and Reports, Studies and Publications issued by these players and their institutions that can help guide grassroots and grasstops (leaders) in community development and investment.

Reports issued by stakeholders are organized by category and made available by opening a window to the source (site), posting of text or pdf files, and other means.
