Continuing the Momentum
In November, AmericaSpeaks invited repre- sentatives from the 19 town meeting sites, as well as several other organizations, to take part in a training retreat in Washington D.C. Each group was asked to assemble a team of individuals who would determine how their community could be convened to discuss local and/or state issues and further develop its civic capacity.
After speaking with our board and indi- viduals who had assisted in the national discussion in the summer, the Foundation decided to focus on Literacy 2030. With the momentum from the Literacy 2030 Summit and the funding support from the Knight Foundation Advised Fund, we felt that focusing on this issue would allow us to impact our community.
The retreat provided tools and resources to help to advance a public discussion on literacy. The team participated in skill building and discussion sessions where we learned what other organizations are doing to convene conversations to help strengthen their communities. Please continue to follow the Foundation’s news as we announce future plans for Literacy 2030.
