The Conversation Corps program has scheduled its first 12 discussions offering citizens the opportunity to engage with local government. These conversations are a joint effort among the City of Austin, Austin Independent School District, Capital Metro and Leadership Austin. This will be an ongoing program that will provide regular opportunities for citizens to have hosted discussions about local government. The first round of conversations will take place between Friday and March 30. The topic will be, “How can Conversation Corps add value to our community?” These discussions will seek input from participants about the issues they’d like to see as future conversation topics.
