The Heartland Center for Leadership Development describes themselves as an independent non-profit organization developing local leadership that responds to the challenges of the future. In addition, they were heavily involved in helping the tiny northeast Nebraska of Pilger “reinvent” itself after twin tornadoes decimated this community in June, 2014.
This community engagement process has developed into a case study on community resilience and has recently been picked up by the International Association of Community Development, Practice Insights: Americas Issue, and just recently in Revitalization News: The Journal of Urban, Rural & Environmental Resilience.
