"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
Do you want to see change in your community? Do you want to have a voice in the decisions being made? Attending and speaking at local public meetings – meetings of your city council, school board, CSD – is an important place to start.
But maybe you’re concerned that you don’t know how to go about it.
Join the League’s Civil Discourse Committee for this in-person forum to learn how public meetings are run and how you can contribute and make your voice heard. Get tips on listening and speaking skills that can make you a more effective communicator.
“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” – Edward Everett Hale
The goal of the Civil Discourse Committee is to restore public trust in institutions and leaders by encouraging respectful interactions at public forums and by engaging in mutually respectful, courteous, and orderly communication. Working together we can make it happen.
Join us on May 21. For more information on this public forum contact the League at civildiscourse@lwvslo.org or call and leave a voice mail message at 805-242-6990.
