Local Program Facilitation

Will your organization host a local town hall discussion in conjunction with this year's CHINA Town Hall, typically held immediately before or after our April 24 national webcast?

YesMaybe

In the spirit of keeping these discussions centered around the U.S.-China relationship and your community, we encourage your organization to seek out an expert within your own community to act as your town hall speaker.

If you'd like the National Committee's help in identifying a speaker, we are happy to do so. You may indicate below whether you will be connecting with your own speaker, or if you would like our help:

Would you prefer a speaker who can physically attend your town hall, or would you rather they call into the event virtually?

If we cannot secure an in-person speaker for your event, would you still be open to having one participate virtually?

Please briefly explain why you are unsure at this time:

Please note: The National Committee will be unable to assist in identifying a speaker for your local town hall after Friday, April 4. Our partners are matched with speakers on a first-come, first-serve basis.
