Quad Cities Big Table: Affordable Housing

This forum will be facilitated by Leslie Kilgannon, Scott County Housing Council; Rick Schloemer, IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union; and Alvaro Macias, Ascentra Credit Union.

The 2019 Quad Cities Big Table season continues April 26-27, providing a forum to identify community issues and create solutions. There are two ways to participate this round: 1) attend one of the five forums hosted by community leaders; or 2) community members may host their own Big Table discussions.

New this year, five Big Table conversations will be hosted by community leaders over the two days throughout the Quad Cities. With topics ranging from entrepreneurial ecosystem to youth as change agents, the community is invited to attend the forum that most interests them.

Facilitators will open each session by presenting an issue and offering a series of questions to spark conversation. Participants will be encouraged to hold small group discussions at each table, report their findings or solutions to the larger group and make a personal commitment to take action to transform the Quad Cities region.
