2008 Citizen Summit

Thank you to everyone who attended or helped to organize and promote the Citizen Summit, a citywide public meeting held on January 29th at the Columbus Convention Center. Over 1,600 participants registered for the Summit in advance and 250 people registered on-site the night of the event making this the largest community meeting ever to take place in the City of Columbus. The Citizen Summit played a significant role in the Bicentennial 2012 process. The event brought a broad cross-section of the public together to give the 13 Focus Groups a better understanding of citizens’ perceptions about Columbus, their desired image for the city, and their priorities for implementing a citywide vision. The public input received at the summit refined the more than 10,000 comments already logged through other public outreach efforts like the Think Tank booth, Youth Forum and College Symposium. This unprecedented amount of public input will help guide the 2012 Commissions in their work and represented a significant milestone in the 2012 process and the City of Columbus.
