Description Over the last several years, one issue has been consistently raised by every class of Roaring Fork Leadership, that of how we relate to each other in the Valley and how those relationships impact community and regional problem solving. The Roaring Fork Valley is a place where more and more issues cross both jurisdictional lines and sectoral lines. Fewer and fewer issues lend themselves to unilateral solutions imposed by the public sector, and fewer and fewer issues impact only one community within the Valley. Whether those issues are transportation, housing, water resources, growth and jobs, or other pressing concerns, the need to foster alliances across sectors and jurisdictions and perspectives has never been greater. Yet it is often the case where the RFV is a place where it is sometimes hard to develop meaningful relationships of trust, especially with people from another community, who work in a different sector or who hold a different perspective from our own.
