Eau Claire County is launching an effort to increase citizen involvement and awareness about county government, while also creating a better sense of community through improved transparency, integrity, and civility. Rob Karwath, national spokesperson for the Speak Your Peace Civility Project, will lead public forums to gain a better sense of residents’ priorities and provide tools for collective problem-solving. Facilitated community meetings will be held on these dates:

• Wednesday, March 11th 9:00 - 10:30 am RCU, Riverfront Terrace
