Community Conversation Set for November 3 in Effingham

The Effingham County Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Effingham Public Library and the Effingham Performance Center is looking for nominations of innovative and creative ideas that have been shared by people from the Central Illinois Region to be part of a “Community Conversation” event focused on technology, entertainment and design to be held November 3 at the Effingham Performance Center.

Joe Fatheree, local educator and past Global Teacher Prize finalist and Effingham County Chamber of Commerce First Friday February Luncheon speaker, challenged the community during his Dream Big: Taking Effingham to the Next Level presentation: “The goal is to identify ways Effingham County will continue to develop. A global perspective starts with a community conversation and one of the best ways to build a strong community is to start the conversation. Big dreams become a reality when big plans follow. Let's start the discussion by seeing all the future-building capacity that Effingham and the surrounding communities have to offer.”

Speaker nominations will be accepted online at https://goo.gl/vgNqRC. Deadline to submit is Wednesday, March 31, 2017.

Details about the November 3 event will be made available in the near future.
