With the New Year's Eve ball set to drop tonight, I guess it's not too late to add yet one more "best of 2010" articles to the mix.  I thought I'd share some of the most interesting books I read this year with a social capital or community building theme. There was a modest sample size, as many of the books I read are a change of pace from social capital topics and thus don't qualify.   That said, here are more top social capital books from 2010.

Translating Hope Into Action

Submitted by David on Tue, 01/12/2010 - 1:07pm

I'm looking forward to speaking tomorrow at the annual meeting of the Greater Plymouth Council of Human Service Agencies & their Brockton counterparts.  The theme of the talk is "The Year Ahead: Translating Hope into Action".  I'll be developing 4 reasons for the nonprofit sector to be hopeful in 2010, and what we need to do to translate that hope into action.  I'll blog more on this theme a bit later, but for now I wanted to get this posted in part as an environmentally friendly way of sharing the presentation with the audience.  But also hoping that others coming across this online will be able to get some of the key points from the talk.

Here is the link to the presentation I'm sharing with the audience.
