Gage Pace on Stellar Pathways
Gage Pace took the floor to share the latest insights on the exciting nomination as a finalist to the Stellar Pathways Project. He shared the One Dearborn County Stellar Pathways Strategic Investment Planning & Engagement document outlining the details and next steps of the project. A discussion ensued about getting the information out at the Bright Parade. It was decided that information about the project may be placed on a table near the setup/sign-in table for the parade participants at Bright Church. Gage was also encouraged to prepare information that may include a QR code for easy access to forms. Another suggestion was to include categories for individuals to select to keep information succinct and grouped. Gage will also complete the announcement form, which will be delivered during the parade to be shared on stage. Amy will make sure that Gage’s information is included with the sign-up information.
