What skills should community development professionals possess?

No problem ^^

Got it, thank you.

First, community development practitioners impart their expertise and orientations to their citizen collaborators. Thus, it is essential to know what these orientations and areas of expertise are and, more importantly, what they should be. Second, educational programs are designed to produce and/or keep professional practitioners up to date. Hence, educators and trainers need to know, and reach some agreement about, the knowledge, skills, and orientations that should be included in pre-and in-service curricula.
