Lifting up the Delta: Building a Culture of Possibilities

Sub Navigation

The purpose of the Grassroots Design Work Group is to develop ways to improve the social and economic conditions of their communities and support community-based economic development efforts by connecting community residents and organizations to new opportunities.

The Louisiana Grassroots Design Work Group has developed a slogan to keep themselves focused and motivated – “E to the 4th Power,” which means to “Educate, Empower, Equip and Engage.” Faced with the challenge to change the mindset of their community, the Grassroots group is trying to focus on what they have as opposed to what they don’t have.

Members of the Louisiana Grassroots Design Work Group include:

Guylyn Boles	Vidalia, LA
