Carmel selected to host national civility summit; local civility group attains 501(c)(3) status
Summary
Organizers said Carmel’s civility initiative has matured into a formal nonprofit and has been chosen by Reclaiming Civility (Colorado Springs) to host a national summit for civic leaders this September.
Organizers of Carmel’s civility initiative told a town hall they have completed branding, established a 501(c)(3) nonprofit structure and were selected by Reclaiming Civility of Colorado Springs to host a national summit for civic leaders this September.
Speakers said the summit will bring approximately 200 leaders from communities interested in promoting civil discourse and that the event will showcase Carmel’s local efforts and provide attendees with practical tools and an action list to take home. The initiative’s leaders said they will publish more details, including event logistics and participant materials, in coming weeks and credited local partners for supporting the effort.
Why it matters: hosting a national convening brings outside attention to local civic initiatives and aims to spread best practices for community civility through workshops and materials.
