The Tri-City Neighborhood Summit invites you to mix and mingle with your neighbors and city honchos on February 24, up at Thrive, 1950 S. Valley Parkway. From 8 in the morning to high noon, attendees will get schooled on nurturing a strong community vibe courtesy of Lewisville's partnership with those in Coppell and Flower Mound.
The shindig will feature a talk from Jennifer Prophete, the director of programming for The Hopeful Neighborhood Project, and a chance to hobnob with household names like Lewisville's very own Mayor TJ Gilmore – and his equivalents from Flower Mound, Derek France, and Coppell's top dog, Wes Mays. All the mayoral muscle will wax lyrical on what it takes to be good neighbors, and how that squares up to a better life in their cities.
According to the City of Lewisville, Texas, the agenda's chock-full of sessions where you can dig into the nuts and bolts of neighborhood betterment. From mapping out neighborly talents to figuring out how your nook stacks up on the well-being scale – it's all on the table. Moreover, there’s a pow-wow slotted with some seasoned neighborhood gurus to help you sow the seeds of engagement and reap the rewards.
Eric Ransleben – a heavy hitter with the chops as a city prosecutor, attorney for Taylor Olson Adkins Sralla Elam, and faculty member for the Texas Municipal Courts Education Center – will be spilling the beans on mastering the art of tough talks, while managing to keep things peachy with your next-door types. These handshake moments might just be your golden ticket to a happier block.
