One Community is a 21 county initiative in NE ohio borne out of Cleveland. This is an amazing collaboration that includes networking supporting community development crossing geographic and economic sector boundaries. Check it out.

The leadership model of One Community is one to be emulated. I hope that the new MN Ultra high speed task force thinks beyond the network to the value to be derived from the network. MN needs more than a report; we need a shared vision and a renewed positive attitude towards creating the future.
