Charlohe Guild hosts English CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Business Guild will hold its monthly meeting on May 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, 201 S. McDowell St. Guest speaker will be Crossroads Charlotte Community Building Initiative Executive Director Dianne English (pic tured). Anne Douglas Miller, licensed agent with HealthMarkets, will serve as host. Attendees will be able to see and respond to “Crossroads Charlotte: The Movie,” a filrrt adap tation of four Crossroads stories. It originally premiered in February and has been seen by more than 1,800. Copies of the DVD will be made available for Guild members. Since 2005, Crossroads Charlotte provides opportunities for organizations, institutions ^d individuals to examine four plausible futures for the Charlotte community and then to take action to steer the community towards positive aspects of those futures. Primary funding for Crossroads Charlotte is provided by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Charlotte- based Foundation for the Carolinas. Program Implementation is provided by Foundation for the Carolinas and the Community Building Initiative with guidance from the Crossroads Charlotte Steering Committee. The Crossroads Charlotte scenarios were written in response to a core question; What course will Charlotte-Mecklenburg chart for all its residents over the next 10 years as we deal with issues of access, equity, inclusion and trust in the social, political, economic and cultural life of the community? What happens when a whole community chooses to make a story reality? The goal of Crossroads Charlotte is to choose and pursue a future for Charlotte, not just arrive in one. With an emphasis on creat ing a community that is accessible to all, inclusive and equitable, the goal of Crossroads Charlotte is to build a trusting, vibrant and sustainable home. Because of its participation on the Charlotte Chamber’s Diversity Advisory Cabinet, the Guild has participated in the for mation of the Charlotte Chamber’s Crossroads initiative which will be announced to the community later this spring. Cost is $15 for CBG Members; $25 for guests and non-members. Individuals making reservations who do not attend will be charged for the event. Reservations were due by noon on May 15.
