Pulling Together is a book that Julie with NeighborWorks used (The authors visited the Fox Cities last fall) to engage local voluntary associations in stipend learning agreements to work on relationship-building. (how to welcome new members, how to help current members feel more connected and engaged, how to build real — not just transactional — partnerships with other orgs).

Tom Mosgaller is one of the authors of Pulling Together. Tom is an experienced community builder, teacher, and leader who believes that the power of relationships is the cornerstone of strong, vibrant communities. Tom has led, taught, and coached community builders in the art of pulling together in places both big and small, urban and rural, locally, and internationally. He has celebrated successes and learned from setbacks that inspired the timeless lessons captured in the Change Framework that serves as the backbone of his book, “Pulling Together: A Handbook for Community Change”.
