Pulmonary emphysema is a disease which develops because of a
localized imbalance between endogenous proteinase inhibitors and
proteinases leaking from neurophils during phagocytosis at
inflammatory foci within the lung. This volume not only reviews at
a biochemical level what is known about the natural inhibitors and
proteinases involved in connective tissue destruction within the
lung, but also suggests novel methodologies for reestablishing
proper enzyme-inhibitor balance, including the use of natural or
synthetic inhibitors for supplementation or gene therapy.
Nationwide, approximately 1,000 Community Action agencies advocate
for the poor and provide diverse but critical services such as (but
not limited to) emergency food and shelter, energy bill assistance,
weatherization, education, job training, transportation, housing,
and health services. In the face of dynamic environments and
shifting poverty needs, Community Action agencies are constantly
seeking innovative ways to effectively address poverty in their
communities while building their internal capacity to ensure
sustained impact and outcomes. This book focuses on the major
leadership roles and responsibilities of the Community Action
leaders, the types of challenges they face, and how they address
those challenges, covering questions such as: How do Community
Action leaders identify the needs of low-income people and use that
knowledge to tailor programs to meet those needs? In what ways are
low-income people involved in Community Action agencies (e.g. board
or advisory council members, volunteers, employees, advocates)?
What are the advantages and disadvantages associated with their
participation? How do the leaders and their staff assess and
demonstrate the effectiveness of their organizations and programs?
What challenges do they encounter in assessing and communicating
performance? What approaches are Community Action leaders using to
diversify their revenues? What are the advantages and challenges
associated with those approaches? How are the leaders developing
their staffs and preparing for leadership succession? How do the
leaders benefit from an affiliation with state and national
associations? Through original and comprehensive research
undertaken by the Center for State Policy and Leadership at the
University of Illinois Springfield and the Illinois Association of
Community Action Agencies (IACAA), this book is designed to inform
and enhance leadership in Community Action agencies and other
nonprofit or government organizations with similar missions. It is
written in a nontechnical manner and includes a chapter on the
history and evolution of Community Action agencies for readers who
are unfamiliar with Community Action and the War on Poverty. It
will be required reading for professionals working at the
frontlines of income inequality, as well as university professors
and their students in the fields of public administration,
nonprofit management, and social work.
