I cannot attend Tuesday's meeting.  The feedback I have gotten from those I invited to attend and others who attended once or twice is that they are not really clear on what we are doing.  They were confused about the difference between the Study Group & the Dialogues.  They appreciated learning about Venture's past but unclear of the path we are taking.  Until we have resources, I think the best things we can do is ask questions of people we meet, listening, recording responses for future use & networking.

Thought on other Dialogues are

Transportation - I believe that was a popular topic on the post-it night

Public Safety - Police, Fire, EMT, Rescue, etc.  - moving to the future I personally would like to hear about what they need to be successful as Chattanooga grows

Waste - Reduce, Recycle ReUse and ReThink

Education 

Technology

Theater/Arts

Aging in Place & food insecurities

Cultural Vitality
