Cause Conversations

Our region has multiple problems that can only be solved by leaders who work together. Cause Conversations are quarterly gatherings of business, church, nonprofit and government leaders who solve community problems through synergizing their efforts.

Cause Conversations are two-hour meetings during the lunch hour during which leaders can identify significant problems in a particular cause and determine collaborative solutions to meet that need.

There is no cost to attend the Cause Conversations. Lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
