Facilitated by the National Issues Forum Institute
As communities navigate change, uncertainty, and opportunity, how can we strengthen the civic muscles needed to talk, decide, and act together? This luncheon plenary will introduce What’s Next, America?, a national initiative that uses the nation’s 250th milestone as a springboard for deeper deliberation and shared local action. Through expert insights, community development perspectives, and interactive moments, participants will explore how deliberation can build trust, surface shared priorities, and support community-driven next steps.
