Engaging Residents in Local Democracy with Richard Young

Richard Young is the Founder of CivicLex, a civic health organization that educates and engages Lexington, Kentucky residents in local democracy.   CivicLex has evolved over time based on paying attention to what works.  Richard is also very active in efforts in other communities to learn from what has worked well in other cities.

Richard will share CivicLex’s 5 Key Missions to engage residents and then we will move into Q&A.  If you are new to WEAll CA learning events, you ask the questions.  We encourage you to turn on your cameras and engage with our community.

We first became aware of Richard through an article he wrote for  Next City.  We encourage you to check it out.
