Take the Survey
We encourage you and your guests to share your thoughts and experiences with us during and after the event. The survey will be open the week of November 16 and stay open for two weeks following On The Table, but the sooner you complete it, the better.
In fact, as hosts, we hope you will invite your guests to complete the survey before they leave your Table.

Take Action
As the host, we hope you will facilitate the conversation to help your guests think of ways to take action on opportunities or challenges they discuss. It would be ideal if each guest could come up with at least two actionable ideas they can do following On The Table.
The Community Foundation of Central Georgia, with the support of the Knight Foundation, will offer a mini-grant program for ideas that require a little seed funding to get started.
