The Building of a United Community of Character”
Presented by: Michele (McDaniel) Mason, President and C.E.O, Better Business Bureau of North Alabama
Many communities across our nation are adopting a common mission: to strengthen the citizens, their families, and the community by promoting excellence in character, and thereby to become known as a “Community of Character.” They are envisioning building better communities that pursue reduced crime rates, increased productivity, decreased absenteeism, enhanced economic development, positive self-image, and a positive county and community image.
This Tuesday night you will hear of an exciting initiative to make Madison County an official ”Community of Character…” perhaps the first in the State! Representatives from the Community Mediation Foundation Board (CMF) and the Better Business Bureau of North Alabama’s Board (BBB) have launched the movement with a pledge of support. Their next step is to expand the circle of people and organizations that we involve in this movement – and what better place to do this than at One Huntsville! Come and learn – and become an engaged builder of a better community!

June 15 – One Huntsville
Jun 5th
Presented by a panel of those who share a common commitment
On their return from a deployment the details of what a soldier may experience emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually, what they can do to help themselves recover, and how they can regain the life they left at home often falls short. What a soldier needs to reintegrate back into a normal military routine, family life and society as a whole needs the caring attention of all of us. Several community agencies and organizations who have stepped up to provide assistance to the returning soldier and other service members will present. This will include the sharing of the Reintegration Action Plan that helps returning service members in their efforts to reintegrate into society and their families and find professional assistance for them. The work of Still Serving Veterans, a Huntsville-based national organization that provides information, resources and assistance to veterans with reintegration issues, will also be shared.
