VISION without action is merely a dream.
Action without VISION just passes time.
VISION + ACTION can Change the World.       ~ Joel A. Barker
VISION BROOKINGS

In 2005, Brookings, South Dakota, community leaders came together in an unprecedented show of solidatiry to ensure the economic prosperity of the region for many years to come. Three organizations - Brookings Economic Development Corporation, the Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Bureau, and Downtown Brookings, Inc.- pooled their resources to create a new organization known as Vision Brookings Coalition.

The coalition launched Vision Brookings 2010, an aggressive five-year community and economic development initiative to provide the funds to encourage growth, address workforce needs, spur entrepreneurship and create collective wealth. The campaign raised over $4.1 million. The Management Committee and the Board of Advisors used these funds to leverage addditional funds from other public and private sectors. The wise use of these funds by its stakeholders resulted in a strong case for continuing Vision Brookings for another five years.

Vision Brookings II is the logical next step for a successful joint venture. We chose Convergent Nonprofit Solutions to take us to the next level because of their national success with other community and economic development organizations.

We invite your participation in helping to make Brookings a place for people and businesses to bring their dreams and watch them grow.
