Imagine Fox Cities Summer of Engagement
IMAGINE FOX CITIES
Imagine Fox Cities created a Living Vision back in 2019 with the help of over 300 community members in the Fox Cities, who helped us shape and form this Vision through community conversations and a well-being survey. The aim of this initiative is to advance the well-being of our place and the well-being of our people. Creating conditions for everyone who calls this place home and opportunity to reach their full potential.
In 2021, Imagine Fox Cities once again conducted a well-being survey. If you are interested in viewing the results, visit the recording here. We are looking to unite the Fox Cities to advance the work of the four pillars of the vision with our Summer of Engagement, culminating in a week of activities from August 22 – 26.
The four Pillars of the Vision Imagine Fox Cities bases its work on include:
1. Where kids get off to a strong start and onto a positive life pathway.
2. Where we have an economy that works for everyone.
3. Where shared spaces and a rich cultural environment connect us.
4. Where all belong!
If these pillars resonate with you or your organization, join us the week of August 22–26 and help us to encourage community members to participate in our engagement week.
We would like your support by providing you removable floor graphics that would stick to the concrete outside your building or inside, at an event you are hosting or a gathering place as an effort to create awareness and to encourage folks to join us in making the Fox Cities a place of belonging for all. You can view them here. Contact Kara Lendved for more information at 920.574.3444.
