THE PURPOSE
          We can build a better city but only by working together.

The foundation for this future is our diverse civil society groups and
their leaders whose partnership with the city sustains and improves
the quality of life in our communities.

But increasingly, the ranks of these groups is thinning, growing older
and operating in isolation from other organizations.

          This summit will start a conversation on how we can strengthen
the overall vitality of city life by promoting greater civic
engagement and fostering dialogue between community groups.

It will also provide current and prospective community leaders with
tools, training and support to better exercise their important civic
responsibility.

THE GOALS
1. To begin a conversation on city-wide strategies to improve and
      expand overall civic engagement and foster better cooperation and
      communication between communities and neighborhood organizations.

2. To provide current and prospective community leaders with tools,
      training and support to make their exercise of civic responsibility
      more effective for city residents.
