Through town hall meetings and featured speaker presentations, CNE is supporting and collaborating with neighborhood community partners to provide a series of monthly community meetings. Each meeting is sponsored and convened by a separate community organization within University Park, and CNE will utilize current technology such as clicker technology, web simulcast and webinars to facilitate the meetings.
