We invite all Local Conversation leaders, and those who are interested in joining or starting a Local Conversation in their city. Beyond that, everyone with an interest in the built environment, and improving our cities is welcome to join. Non-Strong Towns groups are also welcome to participate as well.

For potential new Local Conversations, we will cover the challenges of building an LC from nothing, how to grow membership, what to focus on in the beginning, and how to navigate local government.

For established Local Conversations, this gathering allows leaders to give and receive feedback, helping them grow and lead with confidence and support. Leaders are encouraged to bring an informal SWOT analysis to help guide their discussion contributions. Be ready to share both challenges and successes as a local leader!

Artesia, we’re having another community cleanup and your help will make it a success. Join us on Saturday, July 19th at 10 am. We’ll be cleaning up Artesia park. Just look for the pink high-vis vests!
