City Share, May 5: Vision to Action Monday, May 03, 2010
City Share is back in action this Wednesday, May 5 at 12:00 pm at CreateHere. We’re excited to welcome Lori Quillen and David R. Eichenthal from The Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies, the folks who sorted through all 26,263 Stand surveys and presented us with this big report.
If you’ve been to City Share before, you’ll know that we’ve focused on conversations with nationally recognized authors and innovators about ideas and methods that have worked for them. Now that the Stand data is in, we’re ready to shift that focus to a conversation specifically centered on Chattanooga-based solutions for the needy areas located by the Stand survey.
You may have logged onto ChattanoogaStand.com and searched through the data only to find a mountain of information that might seem impossible to interpret. This month’s City Share is here to remedy that.
Lori Quillen is Policy Analyst at the Ochs Center and will open the conversation with a brief overview of the Stand data. If you’ve been wondering about the primary findings of Stand, this is your time to start understanding them better.
We are also pleased to welcome David R. Eichenthal, President and CEO of the Ochs Center. Eichenthal was named a Nonresident Senior Fellow with the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program and has extensive expertise in public finance, performance measurement, criminal justice policy, education and local economic development. He’s a recognized leader in our community and will address City Share about how to use the Stand data for community organization, advocacy, and change.
