A key element of genuine community engagement is allowing community members to set the agenda. The way to do this is to listen to them about what is important to and missing/needed in the community. Are you personally interested doing this? 

Of course, the challenge is to do this in a fair, open manner so that voices from all parts of the community are heard and can be heard by others. What suggestions do you have about who to engage, where, and when? Might you be interested in working on community engagement tools?

If none of the above, what is your interest in Chattanooga Venture and/or community engagement?

Please let me know what you think! I need your input. Email me directly (greg@eduity.net) with answers if you do not feel comfortable emailing the entire group.

Our next regular meeting on June 2nd (in-person and online) will focus on this issue/question.

Thanks!
