It has been a few months since the Pullman 2040 Taskforces submitted their recommendations to the steering committee, so we wanted to provide everyone an update. Once again, thank you for your work on the Pullman 2040 Taskforces. Your recommendations have been incredibly helpful to the steering committee. The steering committee has finalizing the 2040 project list and will in the next month be working with community partners to identify the various project organizational leads and priorities. Our expectation is to have all this in place by the first of the year and for the community rollout to be the first part of February.
Please make sure you reserve the evening of February 13 for the Community Launch of the Pullman 2040 plan.
While February may seem far off, there is a lot of work which needs to happen to prepare for the launch and we would appreciate your help. We are looking for individuals who would like to help in the following areas:
Launch Event Planning
This committee works between now and February and coordinate the February 13 launch event. If you like planning events, this committee is for you.
Marketing
This committee focuses on the marketing of Pullman 2040. This will involve writing, graphics, video, and social media work.
Finance
This committee focuses on securing funding (grant writing, corporate, individual, and organizational) for Pullman 2040 projects.
Implementation
This committee will take the Pullman 2040 process over from the steering committee and focus on the implementation of the Pullman 2040 plan. Of the four committees, this committee requires the greatest time commitment.
If you would like to be involved in one of these areas, click here for the volunteer application!
If you know of another community member who would like to be involved, please encourage them to also apply.
There will also be on December 6 a Pullman 2040 Community Partner meeting where the steering committee will be meeting with representatives from the various community partners and work to identify lead and supporting project partners. Invitations will be going out the first of this week. We want to include all community partners. If you learn of anyone who we have missed, please let us know or have them contact us at pullman2040@gmail.com.
Thank you again for our efforts. Because of you, 2040 is looking very positive for Pullman.
