Let's have a conversation!
We're looking for 2010 Community Matters Campaign dialogue hosts. In the past, dialogues have taken place in community centers, in high schools, in people's homes - you name the group, and it's most likely possible!
How does it work?
We need you to host a 60-minute community dialogue between one facilitator and dialogue participants (generally up to 20 - if you have more than 20, we can send additional facilitators - just let us know!) about this year's topic of public trust. Dialogue participants may be members of the dialogue host's group (for example, if you have a pre-existing community group - your book club, your sports team, your dinner party) and/or open to the general public (it's up to you!).
Why is it important?
Results of the campaign and participant opinions from the dialogue host will be disseminated in the 2010 Community Matters Campaign Final Report to elected officials, media, and the community - your voice will be heard! (Click here to see the 2009 Final Report.)
How can I host a dialogue?
Please complete the Dialogue Host Information Submission sheet (PDF) with information regarding your availability to host a Community Dialogue. This sheet may be e-mailed to Paula Rhyne at your earliest convenience, but please no later than September 17th. (You may also fax forms to 206-467-7394.) After returning this information, CityClub will provide you with a trained facilitator, a 60-minute "Talk In a Box" and informational materials for your dialogue.
I want to know more!
