Think Big Member Panel

As a member of Think Big, you’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback about current and future offerings. Your role will be to participate in discussions and electronic surveys about our programs, services, and facilities, including designs for the new Natatorium. Your input informs many decisions and plans made by our division.

Please note that in-person meetings will be guided discussions and will not follow a “town hall” format. This is not a policy- or decision-making committee.
