Adjusting the Vision The Brevard County School District is in the midst of


redistricting to balance capacity among different schools, but is holding off on Merritt Island and the north part of the county until the impacts of the job losses on enrollment become evident. Brevard County government is bracing for impacts the layoffs will have on the people of Brevard and increased draws on services. The panel also outlined ways that business leaders and


citizens can help Brevard through the transition. Brevard Schools Superintendent Dr. Brian Binggeli suggested that parents, businesspeople, and other leaders engage as school volunteers, advocates for learning with children, and sponsors of educational programs. Howard Tipton, the county manager, reminded the audience that having a positive attitude and staying engaged in community organizations are, especially in a community with the impressive talent and brainpower of Brevard, the best way to ensure success through the transition. He challenged everyone to develop a ‘To Do’ list to help the organizations that assist people in our community.


Developing Strategic Synergies With the challenges, ongoing activities and suggestions


in place, the audience broke off into work groups, which were tasked with how they would start and continue to develop active networks and strategic plans around 10 areas of the transition:


1] Aerospace 2.0 2] NASA 2.0


3] Entrepreneurship 4] Talent Marketing 5] Talent Advancement 6] Growing Clusters 7] Aerospace Suppliers 8] Talent Support 9] Government 2.0 10] New Narratives


Groups met and discussed the first steps in pulling together


people and resources that might work together to help strategize and carry out activities that could help in their respective areas. These groups also defined some outcomes they would like to see from their efforts and developed short-term action plans. More than a dozen action plans came out of the meeting,


and are still being refined and executed via an Internet social media site set up for the community. Groups continue to meet periodically and are becoming more engaged in activities to help keep the community moving forward. After they were offered a clear picture of where we are, and where we are going, the groups engaged in not just ideas, but carrying out solutions. With this kind of drive, there’s no telling where we’ll be going. u
