The 2017 Prosper Lincoln Summit, held Wednesday, August 23 at Pinnacle Bank Arena, attracted nearly 1,000 individuals wishing to learn more about the community agenda designed to address the issues of early childhood, employment skills and innovation and entrepreneurship.
The Summit featured the release of the latest Lincoln Vital Signs report as well as speakers who have engaged in activities that further the Prosper Lincoln Strategic Plan. Making connections was a common thread as speakers talked about connecting students to innovation, helping people find careers through case managers and providing scholarships so babies and toddlers from low income families can attend high quality early childhood providers.

The Summit was kicked off by students from the Lincoln Southeast High School Step Chain. See the video, plus other great content including photos from the Summit, on the Prosper Lincoln Facebook page.
Those that were in attendance were encouraged to write on a Post-It note how they would “step up” to the Prosper Lincoln community agenda and to place that note on a plexiglass tower as they left the Summit. See the Step Up Post-It Video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5vGSGmk0_A The tower can be found at Bennett Martin Library in downtown Lincoln through September 2017 and will make its way around the community throughout the next year.
