AGENDA

The objectives of this evening’s meeting are to complete several housekeeping action items; to have an interactive panel discussion with NACA, resulting in the identification of the neighborhood’s top five crime-related problems; and, to have an open discussion with project researchers about crime strategy and potential initiatives.

Discussion Guidelines

  • Open-mindedness: Listen to and respect all points of view
  • Acceptance: Suspend judgment as best you can
  • Curiosity: Seek to understand rather than persuade
  • Discovery: Question old assumptions, look for new insights
  • Sincerity: Speak for yourself about what has personal heart and meaning
  • Brevity: Go for honesty and depth, but don’t go on and on
  • Be present: Focus on the current task, be in the moment
