City Share: “One Goal, Many Approaches” Thursday, June 17, 2010
Next Wednesday, our popular lunch series City Share will continue an ongoing conversation about crime and safety issues in Chattanooga with “One Goal, Many Approaches,” another free luncheon at Bessie Smith Hall.
At the last City Share (“Crime in Context”), citizens were given an overview of Chattanooga’s crime problem by a panel of informed local voices and asked to interact with the panel via a question and answer time. “One Goal, Many Approaches” will proceed in the same format, but with the twofold purpose of helping citizens gain a greater understanding of how local crime prevention happens and connecting them with opportunities to contribute their individual interests, talents, and professional skills to the end goal of making Chattanooga a safer city.
The “One Goal, Many Approaches” panel will feature Bea Lurie, President and CEO of Girls Inc. of Chattanooga, a non-profit organization that seeks to support the needs of all girls; Lt. Brian Cotter of the Chattanooga Police Department and East Chattanooga Weed and Seed; and Helen Eigenberg, Professor and Chair of UTC’s Department of Criminal Justice.
Please join us from 12:00-1:00 pm on June 23 at Bessie Smith Hall for light lunch, thoughtful conversation, and insight from local experts and enthusiasts.
As always, City Share is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Please RSVP to rsvp [at] createhere [dot] org or through the Facebook event page.
