Idahoans are invited to attend one of a series of free community conversations this summer focusing on community needs and challenges, existing resources and new solutions in the charitable sector.
Each community conversation will feature a local expert, who will share information on the community’s needs and challenges, and will be followed with a town hall conversation.
The three organizations hosting the events – the Idaho Community Foundation, Idaho Nonprofit Center and Serve Idaho, the Governor’s Commission on Service and Volunteerism – represent nonprofit, private and government agencies.
Two events are scheduled so far for the following dates and locations:
Grangeville: Thursday June 14 from 9 to 11 a.m. (PDT) at the Super 8 by Wyndham, 801 W. South 1st St., featuring Tera Nida, co-chair of the Grangeville Human Needs Council.
Emmett: June 28 from 9 to 11 a.m. (MDT) at the Emmett Council Chambers at City Hall, 501 E. Main St., featuring Bill Butticci, Gem County commissioner and former Emmett mayor.
