COMMUNITY SUMMIT
One Path, Many Voices

On Saturday, March 28, 2015, join us as we turn information to action.
Residents, business owners, neighborhood leaders and advocates

will converge for one day to share information, explore new ideas,

Special Panel Discussion: The Importance of Civic Engagement




What does civic engagement mean and how does it apply to us

individually? What are the opportunities for civic engagement in

Chicago? Why is civic engagement important? How can a collective

effort in civic engagement benefit the community and the entire

city?

Facilitated by


EnGAGED Chicago, this lively dialogue will be moderated by WBEZ’s Kathy Chaney, and will

feature guest panelists


Dr. Carol Adams, Urban Prescriptives; Timuel Black, Historian; Joel Hamernick,

Sunshine Gospel Minsitries;


Sheldon Smith, Dovetail Project; and Kurt Summers, Treasurer, City of Chicago.

After the panel discussion, we invite you to participate in an open forum to share your thoughts and ideas

on ways to get


ENGAGED.
