  • TN Spark Talk Join Week Edition: Speaker Series Impact 2020

    • 02/04/2020
    • 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

    Join Thursday Network for a civic engagement discussion about the Census, Elections, and Hyper-local Advocacy during our first SPARK Talk of 2020. 

    SPARK (Short, Provocative, Action-oriented, Realistic, and Knowledgeable) Talks are an opportunity to present bold ideas to a wide audience. We put forth change-makers who are using their work and passion to make our communities and our country better. For this SPARK Talk, we’ll hear from:

    • Samantha Davis: The Black Swan Academy (Confirmed)

    • Kimberly Corbin: The Greater Washington Urban League (Confirmed)

    • And more to be confirmed


    With each ten-minute presentation from a fellow change-maker, a new way of thinking or a fresh approach is shared. What they say could ignite your curiosity  and flip the switch on a new mindset that leads you to meet your mission — better and more effectively.

    If you can’t seem to put your finger on the right response to a challenge confronting your community, a Spark Talk just might show you the light.

    A Wider Circle will be taking us through detailed instructions so please arrive early! 

    There are several transportation options for volunteers, outlined below:

    Metro Stop: Redline Stop Forest Glen Metro Station. It is 0.8 mile (15 minute) walk to the location.
