ÁùºÏ±¦µä ISD, City of ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Capital Metro seeking public input on community issues

Conversation Corps Program Releases List of Future Discussion Topics

Conversation Corps, a partnership between the City of ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Capital Metro and ÁùºÏ±¦µä ISD has announced conversation topics for the next six months. 

Beginning the second Monday of each month, groups meet throughout ÁùºÏ±¦µä to talk about specific issues that affect the community. 

In small group settings, facilitators lead each group through a structured dialogue, which gives participants a chance to share their feedback. 

Input from the discussion is collected for decision-makers at each partner organization and participants are updated on how their feedback affected decisions. 

The hour-long conversations take place in a variety of venues, which include schools, houses of worship, community centers, coffee shops and restaurants. The most recent round of conversations began May 11. 

This month, the City of ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Capital Metro and ÁùºÏ±¦µä are seeking input about budget priorities. 

Join the conversation to share your thoughts about how your tax dollars are spent.
