We will be hosting meetings in December to share more information about the Catalyst Program and how you can help identify and vote on pre-development projects in your community, what Coalition Membership means and why it matters, and how community Coalition Members can participate in Sector Lead Elections in January.

Meals will be provided at each of the meetings. Please RSVP here for the meeting(s) you plan to attend and indicate if you have any interpretation and/or childcare service needs. This will help the Co-conveners plan accordingly and make proper arrangements for all attendees.

The agenda for each meeting will be the same but you are welcome to attend as many meetings as you would like. We hope that you can join us! Please click here to view the flyer.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].
