How WE can Close the Gap |
Smooth sailing, or choppy waters ahead? Find out how the Twin Cities region is faring in health, housing, economy, civic engagement and more. In order improve our region’s well-being; we need to know what the trends are, which issues demand our attention, and what works. Twin Cities Compass provides the information needed to measure progress and inspire action. Learn the three sweeping demographic changes that will affect every facet of our lives in the next 20 years. Find out what innovative programs are being tried to address issues in our region. Dr. Craig Helmstetter is the lead researcher on the Twin Cities Compass team, and he will use the list of (community) areas of focus from CVC-TC corporate and associate members to help us all discover new ways for volunteers to improve quality of life in the Twin Cities. Lunch will be provided courtesy of Carlson.
