Bert Stitt has over 40 years of experience with community visioning processes, facilitation, and community engagement. He spent ten years as the Downtown Development Coordinator for the state of Wisconsin, facilitating well over 200 community visioning processes that supported community residents in defining and creating their future. He then opened his own consulting business offering these services to downtowns, community groups, businesses, and nonprofits. The Center for Community Stewardship was formed out of Bert Stitt’s experience of receiving requests to facilitate much needed community-visioning and facilitation processes. Bert currently serves as the C4CS Board President.
