In January 2009, the summit, “A Call to Action,” was held to bring together men from diverse
social, political and economic backgrounds to develop a process to organize, plan and execute
initiatives that would reshape our community through strategic leadership, collaboration, and
collective empowerment. The summit purpose was to impact our community by focusing on
shared goals and common interest for the benefit of males in the community.

• Brainstorming and prioritizing what the participants saw as the primary issues with males
in the community
• Developing consensus around the top 4-8 issues
• Identified programs and services in the community that worked effectively with males
