Five O'clock Forums - Sponsored by CSX Corporation
Five O'clock Forums welcome citizens from all walks of life to speak out on topics that affect our region. The purpose of the Five O'clock Forum is to provide the citizens of Jacksonville with a public space for open discussion with subject matter experts about matters important to the community. Upon leaving the forum participants should feel armed with enough information, from varying points of view, to make informed decisions and/or participate in community change activities in relation to the topic discussed.
Past topics include:
Throw Away Lives: Controlling Our Unwanted Pet Population.
A new Convention Center: If not now, when?
Who cares what the Dixie Chicks think?: What happened to freedom of speech?
Mass Transportation: What would it take for you to give up your car?
Rx: What is the prescription for Shands' survival?
FCATs: What is driving education: tests or student learning?
Living Wage vs. Minimum Wage: What is the difference & how will it affect me?
Come join us in a lively, spirited, and free discussion about important local issues. Check the Calendar of Events for the next Five O'Clock Forum.
If you know of a burning community issue that should be the subject of a future Five O'Clock Forum, contact us and let us know.
