What can we do to unleash the potential of all people in our community
to build a brighter future?
A major challenge facing Austin is how to bridge the economic divide. We invite you to join one of three conversations and share your thoughts and ideas on how we can build a community of equity and opportunity for all people.  

Our goals for this discussion are to...
  • deepen our understanding of the issue, 
  • explore possible solutions, and 
  • identify common ground and actions for moving forward.

These community dialogues are jointly sponsored by Leadership Austin, Interfaith Action Central Texas (iACT), Civic Collaboration, and Community Advancement Network (CAN).

Background:  Leaders from the four sponsoring organizations have been participating in a Kettering Foundation Learning Collaborative designed to provide assistance to local communities in hosting deliberative dialogues around a complex community topic. Deliberative dialogues use a small-group facilitated process to help people explore diverse views, consider options and trade-offs, and identify common ground and actions for moving forward. The purpose of deliberation is not to have everyone agree, but ratherhelp people grapple with the hard choices every complex problem requires.
