How University Heights Crowdsourced Conversations flows:

Step One: The Survey!

• The purpose of our survey is to reach as many University Heights stakeholders as possible in order to generate meaningful action-oriented small group discussion questions for our event on the topic.

Step Two:  The Data!

• Once the survey closes, we will generate a report to share the results.  This report will be housed on both on the FutureHeights website and the University Heights website and will be shared with community partners, elected officials, and more.
• We will also use the survey results to generate small group discussion questions for our University Heights Crowdsourced Conversations event on the topic.

Step Three: The Conversation!

• All University Heights residents/stakeholders are encouraged to participate in our UH Crowdsourced Conversations forum.
• While there will be brief opening remarks by guest speakers, this forum series emphasizes the small group discussions that are action-oriented and strengths-based.

Step Four: The Follow-up! 

• After our forum night, all event participants will have the opportunity to stay connected to the other members of their small group discussion and will receive electronic copies of the survey report and any other resources utilized during the event.
• All event participants will also be able to help us co-create a Resource Page on the forum topic that can be accessed both via the FutureHeights website and the City of University Heights website.

This forum series will be an opportunity to connect with other University Heights residents about topics that impact us in a variety of overlapping ways. We hope you can join us for the conversation!
