Next Steps in Response to PGCSIF's Virtual Town Hall:
Prince George’s County and Covid-19: Where are We and What’s Next?

Hey Social Innovators,

A short time ago, we were proud to host a virtual town hall, “Prince George’s County and Covid-19: Where are We and What’s Next?"

We had an excellent turnout and better still, an exceptional conversation with University of Maryland Professor Rashawn Ray, Maryland District Court Judge Lisa Johnson and Greater Washington Community Foundation President Tonia Wellons.

At the end of the Town Hall, participants engaged in an interactive brainstorming session about the key challenges we and our County need to address in the months to come.

That conversation is just beginning – we ask you to take 5-8 minutes to join in that conversation right now at PGCSIF's Thought Exchange Hub!

This platform, ThoughtExchange, is a safe resource. There are 4 brief steps to take:

LANDING PAGE: Respond to “A Few Quick Questions,” or go straight to the Challenge Questions.


CHALLENGES: You will be prompted to provide a response to identify the critical challenges around Covid-19. Please GENERATE 3 or 4 before moving on. After you finish one – give a reason why it’s important. Then you’ll be prompted for ANOTHER one.


RATE OTHERS: When done with challenges, click on the “STAR Arrow” button (bottom right). You will be prompted to rate others’ ideas on a scale of 1 to 5. Once you rate one, it prompts with you to rate another. Please RATE at least 10 but IDEALLY 20 before you move on.


DISCOVER OVERALL RATINGS: After you’re done rating ideas, click on the “Discover Arrow” button (bottom right) and that will give you a chance to see the highest ranked ideas thus far. Feel free to explore the full range of thoughts.


This exchange is confidential. Your thoughts will be shared with other participants but not your identity. You will see and rate the thoughts that others have provided based on how much you agree / disagree or your assessment of the importance of the ideas rated. 

We will use the feedback you provide to inform our future work around COVID-19. 


Thank you for participating!
