Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to City Share.
11.30.2009 // by: Alison
Stand is pleased to announce City Share, a speaker-based lunch series focused on finding creative solutions to community issues, that will act as an enhancement to our weekly planning meetings.
City Share continues the dialogue that began with four simple questions, expanding it into a much broader conversation. Each session will feature a guest speaker—someone who has been instrumental in enacting creative solutions to issues in their community—who’ll be visiting us via video chat.
After each speaker shares the story of their struggles and successes, there will be a brief Q & A session before we break up into small groups to discuss our thoughts and reactions to the topic.
City Share is free and open to the public. Join us every first and third Wednesday of the month from 12-1 pm for light lunch, broad insight, and thoughtful discussion.
To kick off this new conversation series, we’re pleased to be hearing from Ben Berkowitz, the founder and CEO of SeeClickFix, an online neighborhood tool that allows anyone to report and track non-emergency issues anywhere in the world. Prior to SeeClickFix, Ben was founder and CEO of CT WEB NET, a web and graphic design firm working primarily for local governments and schools. He is also the head of the Upper State Street Association, a New Haven business improvement initiative. Additionally, Ben has been covered and quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle, Hartford Courant, New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor about his work with Gov 2.0.
Please join us Wednesday, December 2 from 12-1 pm at CreateHere.
Lunch will be provided, so you don’t need to bring anything to the table except your ears and your ideas.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to blair [at] chattanoogastand [dot] com.
