Baltimore Neighborhood
Collaborative

May 10, 2001
Ms. Betty Robinson
218 West Saratoga Street
Baltimore, MD 21201
Dear Betty:
The Baltimore Neighborhood Collaborative would like to invite you to discuss the
concept of a training institute for Baltimore area organizers. The meeting will be on
Wednesday, May 23, 2001, 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. at 2 East Read Street, gth floor
conference room.
For quite some time a number of people have been discussing the need for a local training
program for organizers. Recently the Baltimore Neighborhood Collaborative received
seed money to pilot such a program for our grantees and other organizations in
Baltimore. We hope that this pilot can be a catalyst for an on-going training program for
organizers to provide skill development and peer networking support in their efforts to
strengthen their community outreach, community organizing, and neighborhood planning
work.
We are asking you to join a small work group to develop this initial pilot and to plan a
longer-term effort. BNC plans to hire a consultant to work with us to further develop the
concept, conduct a feasibility study and to develop an initial curriculum. I think your
ideas and experience, coupled with other professionals in this field, will greatly inform
the group on how to proceed with developing this program and would like very much for
you to join us.
In preparing the agenda for the meeting it would be helpful for me to gather some initial
thoughts that you may have regarding a training institute for organizers. I have attached
a brief survey to collect your ideas and suggestions. Please fax or mail the survey by
Friday, May 18, 2001. Please call me at 410-727-0169 if you have any questions. I hope
you can join us.
