Review CVSG goals from last month's meeting

Better understand “the Chattanooga Way,” what Venture did and how it did it by reviewing how it addressed issues in its “commitment portfolio” and how those emerged from its “challenge agenda” and how that agenda was set.
Identify questions people have about Venture. Gather input about what people want and value in our community as we do.
Connect and engage people representative of our community, particularly those who can engage and speak for various parts of the community, to learn with us.
Establish infrastructure to achieve these goals: for capturing historical information about Venture and related initiatives, connecting people to learn, identifying and sharing critical factors for community venturing, maintaining a network of learners.
Educate people about Venture and community venturing, raise awareness of the study group, and seek support for our program.

Discuss the 2026 program

Initiatiate a task force to assist with the 2026 program and determine what’s next for the Study Group beyond our 2026 program

Establish organizational and personal learning objectives

How do you plan to use knowledge from Venture, what do you plan to do with it?

For your convenience a calendar file for our regular meetings is attached.
