TableTalk Follow-Up Announcement!📣

Central Florida Foundation and WMFE present…

TABLETALK TOWN HALL
March 8, 2024 | 9:00-11:00AM

On October 19th, 2023, hundreds of Central Floridians gathered for a day of conversation, discussing ways to make our region an even better place to call home. People chose a variety of topics to discuss, from homelessness and housing issues to early childhood education and the arts. Participants filled out anonymous surveys and qualitative notes were provided from table leaders.

As we always say though, it isn’t over. Not even close.

We’re ready to take the next step: the TableTalk Town Hall. During this event, attendees will get a closer look at the community report, presented by Bahiyyah Maroon of Polis Institute, and hear from TableTalk Super Hosts. Plus, take a deeper dive into our Letter to Leaders and discuss actionable steps moving forward.

 

This is a free community event, but registration is required.

Listen to our President/CEO's recent keynote address for a dose of inspiration and perspective.
