NEXT THURSDAY: TAKE THE LEAD
04.29.2010 // by: Alison
On Thursday, May 6, the Chattanooga Leadership Think Tank Roundtable presents “Take the Lead: Creating a Livable Chattanooga Region for All Ages,” a conference taking place from 8 - 11:30 a.m. in the UTC University Center Chattanooga Rooms.
“Take the Lead” participants will consult the Building Partnerships: Creating a Livable Chattanooga for All Ages report from last summer’s summit in an effort to inform the next key level of community dialogue, visioning, and building for the future.
Co-founded in 2007 by Missy Crutchfield of the Chattanooga Department of Education, Arts & Culture and Diane Parks of Leadership Chattanooga, the Chattanooga Leadership Think Tank regularly gathers a roundtable of Chattanooga’s leadership program directors to network, share best practices, and combine efforts to mutually support each other in growing the city’s leadership development programs.
For the 2009-2010 year, the Chattanooga Leadership Think Tank Roundtable has focused on addressing the needs of all generations living in Chattanooga now and in the future. The “Take the Lead” Conference is the culmination of this year’s Think Tank focus.
The Chattanooga Leadership Think Tank Roundtable isn’t alone in this endeavor. Convened by Mayor Ron Littlefield, other “Take the Lead” partners include: Choose Chattanooga, Southeast Tennessee Area Agency on Aging & Disabilities, Chattanooga Health and Performance Institute, Leadership Chattanooga, Partners for a Livable Chattanooga, The Learning and Leadership Laboratory (L3) and UTC.
“Great cities have discovered that economic development and livability go hand in hand,” says Mayor Ron Littlefield. “Chattanooga is taking the lead for successfully creating partnerships that benefit citizens of all ages.”
“Take the Lead” is free a conference, but space is limited. Please email RSVPs by tomorrow, April 30, to Fulgham_k [at] Chattanooga [dot] gov.
