Reminder: This isn’t a life sentence! You can change your personal involvement anytime you feel it’s not working out. And, it’s also OK if your team decides it no longer needs to exist. Maybe it’s run its course, or maybe it needs to change direction. We just want to help teams be successful with whatever goal you have in mind to make Webster area a better community!

Design:SD Workshop for Webster's Future

Thanks to the great crowd who joined us Sept. 25-27. 2014, when 30+ architects, landscape designers, artists, community developers and college architecture students spent three days in Webster to help the community turn its ideas into reality!

We cannot thank these enthusiastic people enough: visiting experts, sponsors, planning team, host families, initiative teams, volunteers and event attendees. Thank you for your interest in the Webster area's future!

Eight roundtable discussions, plus community meal and workshop were held Sept. 25, followed by a jam-packed design day on Sept. 26, and a presentation to the public on Sept. 27.

Joe Bartmann, our community coach, will help Webster keep the momentum going in the coming months.
