    <p>You may be one of those special people among us who wants to build communities in a very intentional and life-changing way.&nbsp;Maybe even&nbsp;make a career of it. If so, welcome.The Nelson and Sue Andrews Institute for Civic Leadership was founded in response to the reality that addressing community challenges today requires very different skills than those employed by previous generations of leaders. As we like to say, great communities are not accidental, but intentional. Here &nbsp;you will learn to intentionally, agilely and successfully create change.</p>
