In Valparaiso, the city is holding a community conference on Thursday, April 17, 2025, noon to 5 pm at the Harre Union on the campus of Valparaiso University. “This first-ever Community Conference is for anyone who wants to be more involved in the Valparaiso community. Research shows the more you get involved in the community where you live, the more likely you are to stay,” said Maggie Clifton, Director of Community Engagement for the city of Valparaiso. “Whether you’re new in town or you’ve lived here for a while, it is our goal that every participant finds one or more meaningful ways to engage in our community, offering pathways to build connections and contribute to the community’s growth,” Clifton said. The event will include a variety of speakers, and in addition to the presentations there will be a “speed networking”segment, introducing Valpo clubs and organizations seeking members and volunteers. Admission is $15, which includes lunch. There’s more information at this link .
