Town Meetings

This year we wish to highlight programming that has been in
the works for months. Our town meeting sessions are designed

identity. These facilitated discussions are a result of many,
many hours of collaborative brainstorming, dialogue, writing and
editing.

Town meeting topics are as follows:

· Through Intergenerational Windows
· Leadership and Organizing
· Fear, Violence & Community
· Race and Ethnicity: Making Our Way through the World
· Sexuality, Sexualization, and Intimacy
· Class: Bringing it out of the Closet
· Competition, Labels, and Who Makes the Grade
· Spirituality: Is the Force with You?
