Each Heroic Imagination Project requires a leader or leadership team to plan and manage the implementation of the HIP program to achieve to desired goals.

Project Leaders have many responsibilities including:

• Building the community of people who will participation and support the project,
• Facilitate communications so the members of the community know what to do,
• Organizing and reporting on status, issues, and outcomes of the project so people know how well the project is proceeding.  

HIP VOICES is a FREE online community platform that you can use to help you achieve your project's goals.    

You can cut/paste the content in this Voices website into your own HIP Voices community.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?   Have the members of your HIP Community become members of your HIP Voices (it's FREE and EASY) so you can:

HOW DO YOU SET UP YOUR OWN HIP VOICES?

1. BECOME a MERLOT Voices member yourself.   It will take about 24 hours to get approved (to avoid people getting spammed).
2. ADD/CREATE a "Community Conversation", with the title and description of your HIP Community Project.   It will take about 24 hours to get approved (to avoid people getting spammed).
3. INVITE your HIP community members to join your HIP Voices "Community Conversation" and contribute as desired.

 The project leader can be the HIP Voices Webmaster or can assign another member of their community to be the webmaster – so that the online community platform can be used to help the leaders and members fulfill their responsibilities and achieve their goals.
