Do you have a meeting with your constituents between September 11 and November 3? Would you like to invite your friends, neighbors and/or colleagues to join you in a conversation over appetizers or your lunch hour at the office? CityClub and its partners will provide a “talk in a box” including a trained facilitator, informational materials, and action pledge cards. Dialogue hosts are asked to provide a location, date and time, up to 20 participants (if you have more than 20, we can send additional facilitators - so just let us know!), and, if desired, refreshments.

For more information, see our dialogue information sheet. Click here to download (PDF, 35kb)
