government and political interests; 3) “civic”
leadership; 4) corporate business interests with
national and global market penetration; 5) national and
local charitable foundations; 6) governmental and
non-profit sector social service agencies; 7) non-profit
community-based development organizations (CBDOs, CDCs,
CCIs, etc.); and 8) last and often least,
