Preparing for the Inter-City Visit to Bloomington, Indiana

Nearly 80 participants leave for Bloomington a week from this Sunday. The discussions to be held during the visit should spark some interesting dialogue both during the event and once back in Orange County. The visit is split up into a series of Conversations with topics including: Community Branding, Economic Development, A Thriving Downtown, Student Housing, University-Community Partnerships,Innovations in Government, Community Colleges: Entrepreneurship and Workforce Development, and K-12 Education. There will also be time for one-on-one conversations with our counterparts. On the second day there will be field trips to a trail, theater, high school, museum, or art center (I hope to go visit the Bloomington Community Orchard).

The Twitter hashtag for the visit is #ICV2012. I plan to tweet during the visit (@mollsdemarco), and I imagine a number of others will as well.

Thanks, Molly, for compiling the list. This is the first Inter-City participant roster that I've seen to date.  The Inter-City orientation will be in the Chamber's large conference room on Wednesday, September 5th, from 08:00am-9:30am.The orientation should go into details about travel and upcoming session topics.  

Something of interest that I did not see posted on Orange Politics yet was the link to the Chamber's 2012 State of the Community Report held at the Friday Center on Tuesday, August 28th.

I look forward to your insights from Bloomington!
