Community Dialogues

The Alliance convenes community dialogues on a variety of subjects that affect sustainability, bringing together organizations and individuals working on different aspects of an issue to promote partnerships and understanding.

In September 2010, we are one of sixteen co-sponsors of a special event, a Lehigh Valley Sustainability Summit. Usually Community Dialogues are open to the public. However, for the September 25, 2010 Summit, Summit planners expect some fifty invitees to attend the all-day event.

We view the Summit as a potentially important step in developing a regional approach to sustainability for the Lehigh Valley and will report on it and any follow-ups.

In general, Alliance Community Dialogues have been part of our efforts to generate collaborative opportunities for transitioning to a sustainable Lehigh Valley. Join in. Contact us at steering@SustainLV.org  or call 484-851-3910.
