COVID-19 has interrupted the ways people live, work and relate to one another on a daily basis. The city invites residents to participate in a virtual Neighborhood Leadership Gathering Thursday, Sept. 17, 7-8:30 p.m., to learn about and discuss the community's response to the pandemic.
The presentation – COVID-19 Community Impact and Response – will feature a panel discussion on what is being learned from the impact of COVID-19 on the Bellevue community and economy. During this unprecedented time, city leaders are examining its effectiveness in being a caring and resilient community. What does that mean for the local economy? Will residents be able to adapt to new challenges? The panel will feature:
- Mac Cummins, Community Development Director
- Michael Shiosaki, Parks & Community Services Director
- Jesse Canedo, Chief Economic Development Officer
- Toni Esparza, Assistant Director, Parks & Community Services
Participants will be encouraged to share insights through real-time polling, ask questions of panelists and learn how to contribute to becoming a stronger and more resilient community. RSVP to neighborhoodoutreach@bellevuewa.gov or 425-452-6836 to receive connection details.
