Community Connex is an online, social networking tool that allows users to gather, discuss, and publish resources that are important to communities and groups.
What sets Community Connex apart from other portal systems is the ability for users to define the issues that are important to them through the language and resources that speak to their specific community and needs.
Social networking applications allow individuals and groups to define themselves individually, but, more important, they can help people to make connections and form relationships across geographic and social boundaries. Strong networks of relationships help to sustain communities by creating spaces for brainstorming, deliberation, sharing, and memory.
