Town Hall Meetings APA and ULI took the lead in organizing Town Hall meetings for the Bring Back New Orleans Commission, so that dispersed New Orleans citizens in communities across the region could have a voice and participate in the plans for rebuilding their city. The town meetings were held in Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and Memphis. The meetings in each community were organized by the Urban Land Institute and the American Planning Association. Below are the team leaders, dates, and locations for the meetings in each of the five communities. Each town meeting was chaired by a member of the Mayor's Bring Back New Orleans Commission. An APA representative facilitated the discussion. Each town hall team worked with ULI's and APA's professional public information staff to get the word out through local media.
