Community Solutions (CS) was founded in 1940 as Community Service Inc., by engineer and educator Arthur Morgan. Today it still holds true to the mission it began then: to promote interest and understanding in the need to consciously develop the full possibilities of community life in small towns, rural areas and cities.

The organization will soon hold its 63rd annual conference, October 21-23. In an interview with WYSO, Community Solutions CEO Susan Jennings and Senior Fellow Don, Hollister tell us what's taking place this year and how to get involved.
