Sandy Springs Hosting Civic Dinners To Promote Conversations

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — In July, the City of Sandy Springs began a citywide conversation on inclusion and belonging. During the first few weeks, more than 30 “Civic Dinners” were formed.

These conversations are about bringing different voices to the table, asking three questions and allowing everyone equal time to share with one voice at a time. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these conversations are conducted virtually through an organization called Civic Dinners. “Dinners” can be held both in English and Spanish.

Now, the city needs more people to participate.

Sandy Springs is a community comprised of people from many backgrounds, cultures and religions, and it is important that city leaders hear from as many as possible. The public can participate as a host by helping facilitate a conversation, with the city providing a guide and participants, as a participant, or both. The Civic Dinners are planned to continue throughout August.
