The commitment to mapping an entire community's assets is the place where this path begins. Once begun, however, the process of locating and making inventories of the gifts and capacities of individuals, of citizens' associations and of local institutions must be ongoing. Because the fully mobilized community is one which always begins to address its agendas and challenges with the question, "What resources do we have to solve this problem ourselves?" community builders need a continually updated "map" of those resources.
