Instructions for Conducting a SWOT Analysis

Leadership
Effective leadership is one of the most critical elements of successful prevention efforts. Leaders should be able to define the
problem for coalition members, cast a vision for prevention, and organize data-driven decision making in a collaborative environment.
Consistent leadership over time is absolutely essential for sustained success. “Special kinds of leadership and management are
required to achieve the critical characteristics of a collaborative problem-solving process. This type of leadership and management is
very different from what is needed to coordinate services or to run a program or organization. One difference relates to the number
and mind-set of the people involved. Rather than having one person ‘run the show,’ successful community collaborations often
involve a variety of people in the provision of leadership, in both formal and informal capacities.

I. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE INSURANCE

When a death occurs in a family, those who are left may suffer financial loss – and even hardship. Life insurance is designed to ease those difficulties. Its primary purpose is to protect the surviving members of a family or any other dependent against the loss of an individual’s income or services.

Essentially, life insurance is a means of spreading financial risk among a large number of people who pay premiums. In this way the cost is minimized for those who suffer a loss. A life insurance contract or policy is a legal agreement between a policyowner and an insurance company that provides for the payment of a death benefit upon the death of the insured provided both parties to the contract meet their contractual obligations.

A Shopping Guide to Mulching Lawn Mowers

This guide will help you find a grasscycling mower that’s right for you. For up-to-date ratings of mulch-mower performance, consult the most recent June issue of Consumer Reports, available at your local library.

Push Mowers
Not only are push mowers quiet, non-polluting and inexpensive, they do a good job of grasscycling. One disadvantage is that they can’t chop and blow the clippings down into the turf like a power mulching mower. But you can always rake up the areas where clippings might be tracked into the house. Grass clippings make great compost and mulch.

Push mowers are sold in most local hardware stores, as well as big department and discount stores. Quality of construction varies with price, so comparison shop. Test the handle for stiffness, strong attachment to the mower, and comfortable hand grips. Compare the ease of height adjustment, and look for smooth, sharp blade edges. Higher priced mowers often have six blades rather than five, to cut more smoothly.
