Concilio
The Concilio team got off to a rocky start. The team was unsure of how to implement their plans or what their objectives should be. Yet, it was decided to do a project that would benefit everybody in the San Luis Valley.
The team's mission became learning about, conducting and utilizing a geographic information system (GIS) survey of the Conejos County. This survey was to include visiting each residence for a physical and social inventory.
Team members attended a GIS survey class and purchased equipment needed to conduct a GIS survey with their MIRA money.
Even though the survey has been partially completed, the MIRA project is at a standstill. A vital team member's death, no collaboration with the county (which is also doing a GIS survey) and the difficulty of finding people home for the physical and social inventory have all contributed to the project's unfinished status.
Leadership
During his first experience as a committee leader, Felix Lopez, the Concilio Team leader and also the Steering Committee Chair, learned what it was like to be a leader at the committee level. He made sure that the team's leadership style emphasized contributions from everyone.
