Feedback gathered will help develop a city-wide policy with guidelines to build trust and tailor community engagement efforts on a project-by-project basis. This will support the creation of a foundational nonprofit skills course and community engagement trainings for community leaders and City staff members.

- Wednesday, Nov. 12, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Patrick Henry High School Cafeteria
