Chattanooga Stand: Another Successful Weekend
07.21.2009 // by: Sarah
Chattanooga Stand received another huge boost this weekend at Nightfall, Movies in the Park, and the Chattanooga Market. Over a thousand surveys in 48 hours! Thanks to everyone who took a stand for our cool little city.
The four questions that compose the Stand survey are unique and powerful for their ability to inspire sincere contemplation from anyone that earnestly considers his/her own personal answers. Conversation, vision, thought, and passion are exuded from many of those willing citizens, and such dedication to an idea of ‘home’ is exciting to witness for everyone working for Stand.
What’s important to you? The answers vary… The citizens are diverse in mindset and background… But from the many different opinions within this region come common themes for collective growth and progress.
Collective? Progress? To the skeptic, these words represent the vocabulary of the idealist ‘do-gooder,’ the hippie activist, the philanthropic posers… But for anyone that has taken a Stand, it is clear that conversations amongst many, for the well-being of a common neighborhood, city, or region, can produce a citizenry that is deeply vested in the well-being of that community. This is the mission of Stand—to provide a means by which citizens take collective ownership and responsibility. Chattanooga’s future will be determined by anyone and everyone who believes that the common person can positively influence this place—our place. Participation is key! To have a voice in the direction of something, one must always be willing to get involved.
Take a Stand! Share your thoughts about this region that we all call home.
