Five major U.S. cities were chosen by CNCS to host community solutions summits and celebrations in honor of AmeriCorps VISTA's 50th Anniversary- luckily for those of us living and serving in Utah, Salt Lake City was one of these cities.
The Public School Partnership was instrumental in organizing both the Community Solutions Summit and Reception that took place at the Cultural Celebration Center in West Valley, UT on August 27, 2015. The event featured speeches by the AmeriCorps VISTA National Director, Paul Monteiro, and noteworthy VISTA Alums, a networking session where organizations set up displays of their work and partnership with VISTA, a lunchtime meetup for VISTA members, and an elaborate timeline of AmeriCorps VISTA throughout its 50 year existence. Mr. Max Roth with Fox 13 Now, a VISTA alumni, was gracious enough to spend the day at the event as MC.
