About
the Neighborhood Summit
Neighborhoods are the building blocks of the region.
They shape its character. They affect the lives of its
families and children. They are where “community”
begins.
On September 25, 2010, The Civic League for Regional
Atlanta will host its second annual Neighborhood Summit,
a daylong event created to foster relationships among
the residents of the 10-county Atlanta region by
providing them with a forum to meet, exchange ideas and
explore opportunities for collaboration. The
Neighborhood Summit will be held in downtown Atlanta at
the Loudermilk Center for the Regional Community. Last
year's event drew 500 participants; this year we expect
as many as 700.
During the day, Summit participants can:
•
Attend workshops on such topics as Creating Civic
Organizations that Last, Getting Organized for Lobbying
and Advocacy Efforts, Meeting the Changing Needs of
Residents, and Advancing Neighborhoods into the 21st
Century with Technology.
• Enjoy the popular exhibit hall featuring
representatives from nonprofit organizations, government
agencies and businesses, who want to connect with the
region's community leaders.
• Network with elected officials and peer community
leaders from around the region.
2010 Neighborhood Summit partners include the United Way
for Metropolitan Atlanta, the Community Foundation for
Greater Atlanta, and the Neighborhood Fund.
