Flagship programs
We host six to eight moderated panel discussion every year in order to to encourage interest in, and educate residents about, important public issues that affect the City of Alexandria via informed debate and thoughtful balanced discussion. Our current season is listed below.
It’s about you
We tackle issues such as transportation, education, public safety, history and preservation, development, environment, city budget planning – to list just a few. The community can participate by submitting questions during each program.
About us
Taking a look at the issues without taking sides for over a quarter of a century
Incorporated on May 20, 1998, we are a 501(c)(3) non-partisan, non-advocacy organization – we won’t take a position; we provide all-sides information so people can decide for themselves.
