Greetings,
On October 10, people from all walks of life and across all
generations will convene at the Tulsa Convention Center for the
City of Tulsa's Across the Generations: What We Owe Each Other.
This day-long summit will bring citizens of all ages together to
plan for future challenges and opportunities that will address an
aging population and overall population growth. Tulsa will be the
first city in the nation to host such a summit and will become a
model for other cities.
National speakers will be on hand to talk about ways to address
intergenerational issues, share their ideas about changing
demographics and bring together advocates for all ages. During the
afternoon "Dream" workshops, summit participants will brainstorm
and discuss topics such as education, health care, housing,
employment and social services and offer their ideas, dreams and
plans to build a better community for our city.
The City of Tulsa has partnered with the national Legacy
Project, a multigenerational education project, to create a model
for Legacy Community Building that addresses changing demographics,
financial realities, environmental imperatives and social needs of
all generations.
This summit is about more than a moment; it is a movement to
inspire citizens of all ages to build a better tomorrow, not only
for Tulsa, but other communities across our state and great
nation.
I invite you to join me on Monday, October 10th at the Tulsa
Convention Center for our Across the Generations Summit: What We
Owe Each Other. More details on the summit can be found online.
Best regards,
Dewey Bartlett
Mayor of Tulsa
