Community Conversations

Communities across America, Anderson communities included, are dealing with some
pretty tough issues. Issues so tough and complicated, that it’s hard to know where to start

Successful action can only start by listening and learning. Community conversations are
all about listening and learning

They are the starting point to later move ideas to action

Communities have to come together and listen to each other and learn from each other

At United Way of Anderson County, we fight for the HEALTH, EDUCATION and FINANCIAL
STABILITY of every person in our community

We know that bringing people together to improve lives is an important thread in these conversations and local solutions

For successful community conversations, diversity of voices is critical. Community
members, faith leaders, employers, business organizations, youth, elected officials, and a
variety of community organizations should all be a part

The Community Conversations will be led by Greg Shore, volunteer leader of the effort, and
facilitated by Charles Weathers of The Weathers Group

All conversaions will be held at the Anderson County Main Library, 5:30 - 7:00pmSeptember 7 Mental Health

The following is a schedule of the dates and topics:

• September 21 Addiction
• October 5 Conflict Resolution
• October 26 Gangs
