Crain’s Chicago Business mentions the Institute for Policy and Civic Engagement in an article about brain-storming meetings to be held by 10,000 Chicago business and civic leaders on March 12. IPCE, a center in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs and GCI research partner, will analyze a survey to be conducted at the meetings.
The Chicago Community Trust is holding its own version of a town hall meeting, and dinner is included.
On May 12, a thousand Chicago-area business, nonprofit and civic leaders will hold simultaneous dinner parties in their homes or around town to brainstorm ideas and propose solutions on a range of community issues. The event is called On the Table.
The goal, according to the trust, is to have more than 10,000 people “from all walks of life and socioeconomic circumstances” participate in the event, which comes as the trust celebrates its 99th anniversary, CEO Terry Mazany said.
