Government

The town has posted 2020 theme survey results, but the formatting is terrible. Can anyone help me get this into readable text?

Stepping away from 2020 Outreach so I can do 2020 outreach

Submitted by Ruby Sinreich on December 11, 2011 - 11:07am

A few days ago I sent the following message to my fellow members of the Outreach Committee for Chapel Hill 2020. Apparently having and stating strong opinions is incompatible with leadership in that process. Rather than spending time struggling to lead the internal outreach process, I think I will be a more effective and way more authentic advocate from the outside. It's a pity the Town can't make room for vocally opinionated comunity members to be leaders in creating our new comprehensive plan. We all have opinions. Some people are just more blunt about them than others. There are precious few "neutral" leaders who are qualified and motivated enough to serve.
