This recommendation involves the positioning of the Network of Woodlawn and its affiliates as the neighborhoodÕs leading community organizations, making sure they are seen as representative of all residents. This would require seeking stakeholders who may be less enthusiastic in their support for the organization and its base of support and directly speaking to their concerns. The most pressing complaint is the level of independence from Dr. Byron BrazierÕs leadership. A board that was sufficiently representative of the entire neighborhood and an organization that was guided by true consensus should provide an enhanced sense of legitimacy. In addition, the organization needs to be sufficiently staffed and resourced, including the hiring of a coordinator of Economic Development whose portfolio will include housing revitalization.
