What do you see as the critical issues and major challenges for our community?
What is your vision for the future of our community? What would it look if we addressed those issues and challenges? Can you provide examples from other communities?
What key resources are required for our community to achieve that vision? What do we have and what do we need?
Bonus question: What are you able and willing to do achieve that vision? What actions can you take?

What do others think? This is a bit off-topic from our agenda but it's an important discussion, maybe we should start another thread… or move it online to venturing.chattanooga.digital. 😉

It’s also important to build capacity and have tools for this, which is where the Facilitator Bank comes in. More on that tomorrow!

Yes. I’m going to take what I have learned like Bob Corker - The Chattanooga Way
Ron Littlefield- steal from other cities shamelessly
Sally Robinson- Think BIG and don’t worry about the money
And it was either you or Eleanor that said “engagement now, engagement tomorrow, engagement in the future
I think it could maybe be helpful if there were 3 or 4 common questions for all of us to try and get responses to from the people we meet.
