Co-sponsored League Winter Webinar: Improving Civic Health – And Why It Matters
Speaker Information: Mary Beth Collins (JD, MA) is the Executive Director of the UW-Madison Center for Community and Nonprofit Studies.
Civic health is the manner in which communities come together to define and address public problems. Whether the issue is affordable housing, decreased funding for schools, an aging population, failing infrastructure, or racial inequities, the problems are big, complicated and not easily solved. Further, individuals within communities may have different views on, and be affected differently, by the issues. Is the civic health where we live strong enough to help our community do the hard work that needs to be done?
