Civic Tuesday: Impact

Tuesday, December 12 | 5:00 – 6:30 p.m.
Kansas Health Foundation | 309 E Douglas Ave, Wichita, KS 67202

Special thanks to media sponsor, KMUW, Wichita Public Radio at 89.1 FM.

You’re invited to an evening of encouragement and refreshment focused on our collective impact on society and leaving legacies that improve the civic culture.

This unique gathering is inspired by our friends at Citizen University who developed Civic Saturday, a civic analogue to a faith gathering. It is time to connect as citizens over music, art, history, and inspirational words to strengthen civic faith and belief in democracy.

In 2022, the Kansas Leadership Center hosted a virtual Civic Saturday in collaboration with Citizen University, the organization’s co-founder Eric Liu was also a featured guest on KLC’s podcast this year, and several staff members from both the Kansas Leadership Center and Kansas Health Foundation have attended the Civic Saturday Fellowship to learn more about their model.

So when colleagues heard the unfortunate news of CU’s co-founder, Jená Cane’s passing, we wanted to gather as a tribute to her work and legacy. Jená made an impact in the civic arena and each of us can too. But what does impact look like?

Ed O’Malley will serve as emcee for the evening and Sarah Jane Crespo will deliver the “civic sermon”. Here’s what else you can expect from the evening:

• To experience the civic analog to a faith service complete with music, civic scripture, and a civic sermon.
• To feel inspired by history, art, and stories that strengthen our civic fabric.
• To connect with others about what it means to live like a citizen and how we can deepen our impact in the civic space.
• To enjoy a reception with cookies and refreshments to follow from 6-6:30 p.m.
