Join
in a celebration of City Club’s accomplishments at this
year’s Annual Meeting. The evening will kick-off with a
cocktail hour and annual awards ceremony to honor a special group
of members whose contributions to the Club and the community deserve
our recognition.
Following the ceremony, members will share their voices and views
on the Club’s future. Over the past nine months the Club
has engaged approximately 700 citizens in examining forces that
promise to impact the Club’s future, distilling the essence
of City Club and exploring how the Club should evolve in its next
100 years. The principles that have guided this work are: inclusion,
access, participation, credibility and sustainability.
Many exciting ideas have been shared, but we need your help in
setting priorities for where the Club should experiment and innovate.
With your feedback (and the aid of electronic polling technology),
we’ll consider new opportunities for City Club programming
and ways to enhance the membership experience.
