Imagine Columbia's Future

WHAT: The Vision Sponsors Council is holding a public meeting to (1) discuss, interview and select two Vision Committee co-chairs from among six candidates, and (2) discuss with Vision Committee co-chairs the process for selecting co-facilitators for Citizen Topic Groups.

The six candidates being interviewed for Vision Committee co-chairs are: M. Dianne Drainer, Executive Director of the Mizzou Flagship Council; Douglas J. Lange, Vice President, Operations and Facilities, Stephens College; Sally Beth Lyon, Director of Research, Assessment and Accountability, Columbia Public Schools; Nicholas H. Peckham, owner, Peckham & Wright Architects, Inc.; Mary Colton Wilkerson, Vice President, Marketing, Boone County National Bank; and Jeffrey Robert Williams, Director of Access and Urban Outreach, University of Missouri. These six were selected from among 23 applicants. The Sponsors Council recruited applicants from throughout the community, in a public campaign, from September 6 through October 6.

The Vision Committee ultimately will include representatives from all the citizen-led small discussion groups (Citizen Topic Groups) that will focus on specific subjects of interest to Columbians. The Citizen Topic Groups will be identified later this year and start meeting in January 2007.

WHEN: Wednesday, Oct. 18, from 10:30 a.m. to noon

WHERE: City Hall (Daniel Boone Building), 4th floor, Council Chambers
