The board heard that the CEDU can offer a "Bootstraps" programme whereby members of a community meet to work through a programme of defining the community's goals and present position and
possible courses of action for achieving goals, normally with an emphasis on employment development but also looking at promotion of a community.

Mr Towler suggested inviting a small group of the "movers and shakers" of the community together to an initial meeting to see the direction the community was likely to want to head as far as the programmes on offer. were cocerned.
