Place matters. Whether it’s where we live, work or play, our environment has a profound impact on how we feel and how we invest. But great places don’t just happen. They’re made by people who care about the future, have faith their investments will be met with returns, and want to see their children thrive close to home. Keynote speaker Dr. Katherine Loflin will cover all of the aspects of placemaking, the why, the how and the who. Join us, learn more, and be inspired to get invovled with Vibrant Communities. Nicknamed the "City Doctor," Loflin is an internationally award-winning placemaking consultant, speaker, and instructor in cities around the world. She is the principal of Loflin Consulting Solutions. She has held advisory and leadership roles in some of the most groundbreaking and innovative placemaking projects. Event is free, but RSVPs are preferred. Go to www.vibrantelkhartcounty.org/makinggreatplaces to register.
