A Bridging Divides - El Dorado Community Convening took place at the Boys and Girls Club in South Lake Tahoe with 30+ leaders from the South Lake Tahoe region (and a few from the Western Slope).

Based on feedback received from participants, the event succeeded in calling attention to the problems that result from polarization and some of the de-polarization strategies that can help bridge divides. We also heard that more time was needed (we met for two hours in SLT, not four as we had in Cameron Park) to figure out what steps to take next and to explore additional bridging strategies. Some people also suggested that we need to get more and different people to the table to learn about our divides and how to bridge them.
