What We Do
A forum for Philadelphia’s civic and public policy discussion.
Meet
We are civic-minded, city-loving residents who gather together to hear directly from public-sector leaders, discuss real issues and get to know each other.
Discuss
We give the floor to esteemed speakers from Philly’s government, civic, community, or business organizations. Then we question, complain, compliment, and maybe decide to act.
Eat
Every event includes a luncheon. Because feeding the stomach often goes well with nourishing the mind and opening the heart.
