In accordance with our 2012 Annual Theme, NCoC will be convening a series of discussions and events throughout the year in locations across the country. This will be known as the Civic Innovators Forum Conversation Series.

The purpose of the Civic Innovators Forum Conversation Series will be to present the findings of the Civic Health and Unemployment issue brief and engage attendees in discussion on the research and its hypotheses. The summary of participant feedback from all events will be presented at the 67th Annual National Conference on Citizenship and will inform subsequent research and program initiatives in this area.

The series will include the following events (more to come as dates are confirmed):

• February 18: Active Citizens Conference, Williamsburg, VA
• March 10, 7:30 a.m.: Guiding Lights Weekend, Seattle
• June 7: American Democracy Project Annual Meeting, San Antonio, TX
• June 18, 10 a.m.: National Conference on Volunteering and Service, Chicago
• September 14: 67th Annual National Conference on Citizenship, Philadelphia

We hope you will join us at one or more events, or weigh in on the online discussion here.
