Civic leaders: Keep the conversation going

Nearly 70 civic leaders met Oct. 13 at the Mayfair Community Center to talk about what they're doing well, what they can improve upon, and to think about how they can work together going forward. Mayoral candidates Michael Nutter and Al Taubenberger also took questions from attendees.

Plenty of ideas and concerns were raised during the day, but we didn't get to them all. What needed to be said that we didn't get to? Anything come to mind once you got home?

This is the space (in the comments) to keep the conversation going.

Marc Stier of West Mount Airy and Neighborhood Networks forwarded to me his blog post about his participation in the summit.

Here's the link; well worth the time to go there and read it:
