It was  inspiring to host a day of conversation on community building. We invited 5 community organizers and innovators to share their story with us. We looked at what drives us in our work, partnerships we can build, challenges we face, and next steps we can take.

We heard from artists, community activists, faith community leaders, businessman, and a city councilor.

Some key themes from the conversations from the day were tapping into our passions, persistence, listening, partnerships, failure, and never giving up.

It was day full of conversation, great stories, and ideas. Thanks to  the Ohio Association of County Boards  for sponsoring and Chris Simon of Bowling Green for graphic recording of the conversation.
