Be the change: Civic engagement and youBSA Space, 290 Congress Street, BostonN/A
Civic engagement: What does it mean to you? What are you doing to improve your neighborhood? How can architects contribute to the quality of life in their communities? How can the BSA be a voice for positive change in the public arena?
Join us on May 30 at 5:30 pm at BSA Space (290 Congress Street, Boston) for a roundtable conversation on civic engagement. Listen to stories from members who are involved in their communities in a variety of capacities, from volunteer activists and builders to regulators and elected representatives. Share your experiences and help the BSA develop an advocacy agenda around issues that are important to you, your profession and the region.
