We’ve just received a copy of the newly released Breaking with the Law, by Ward Clapham. The book is well written and visually appealing. It details how Clapham launched Positive Tickets in Richmond, BC, provides evidence of the program’s impact, and specific suggestions for how you can organize a similar effort in your community. I encourage anyone who is looking for ways to re-imagine policing and public safety to pick up a copy–whether to use themselves or to share with local policing colleagues. For additional information and to order your own copy (available as download or hard copy), go to www.positivetickets.com.

On September 22, we completed filming on our first DVD project, tentatively entitled “Maria’s Stories.” Based on compelling actual events, the stories document exchanges between the same individuals some 14 years apart. Narrated by Flora Sanchez, one of our Search Institute training team members, the stories will leave you with an enhanced understanding of “the power of one!”
7/21/09 Vision Training Associates announced plans to initiate two video series. The first will showcase asset-building stories accumulated by our speakers/trainers. These powerful stories will be essential additions to the libraries of all who are engaged in positive youth development. The second series will provide in-depth looks into programs and initiatives across North America who are weaving asset building deeply into the fiber of their organizations and/or communities. Filming begins September 22 and the first DVD will be available by November.
We are conducting our annual Trainer Retreat with members of Search Institute’s North American Training Team in Farmington, MN from now through July 1. Dr. Peter Benson addressed the group today, casting a compelling vision for our work in the coming year.

This was critical in the development of our strategic plan and has provided MUSD the foundation for our district-wide initiative to launch in September. Thank you!”
