15 YEARS OF COMMUNITY BUILDING 20 Fifteen years ago, Community Council launched a community driven, problem solving model for community change in our region—Walla Walla and Columbia Counties in Washington and the Milton-Freewater area of Umatilla County in Oregon. Community members enthusiastically pulled up their chairs to the table, and generously shared their time, wisdom, and support. This work has provided a positive influence on individuals and a constructive outcome for the region. As one community member said, “I feel strongly that this has made a huge difference for the community.” To sum it all up, as said by one community member, “Community Council is a process. When a community comes together to work on a community issue, its members develop a heightened sense of belonging which leads to accountability and being responsible for its future.” Enriching the Regional Fabric LOOKING FORWARD
