Therefore it’s very mportant that we are clear in our roles in the communty that we serve – OWNERSHIP is with the people in the communty and not the staff/workers.

Cheers Amy and all the very best.

I'm completly agree with your points, specially with the 3rd group. I think that we need to find key people to get involved in community activities and let them play key roles, too.
We've been building communities since 2004, and "roles" had been quite important in every project we start.
I know it's CC, but I want you to let you know that I'm going to translate your article to spanish and post it in my blog today (I hope that'sOK).
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Amy!
cheers,
@RolandoPeralta
