In times of change and uncertainty, strong, vibrant, communities matter more than ever. They help us feel grounded, protected, and empowered. A great community is a safe place to land, a source for local solutions,
and a base for economic stability. The Civic Leader Summit offers up three days packed with fresh ideas and proven best practices for making yours even better.

The Summit will help you “get local” with actionable strategies, practical tools and tactics, and impactful connections. The agenda is filled with people who are “in the trenches” doing the work right now
and who are committed to bringing tried and true strategies to help solve communities’ toughest problems.
Hosted by the Center for Civic Engagement and Strong Towns, the Civic Leader Summit will equip civic leaders, public officials, business owners, nonprofit changemakers, and active residents with the tools to create communities that are vibrant, resilient, and thriving.
With a focus on local solutions to national challenges, attendees will learn proven strategies for:
Revitalizing downtowns
Attracting and retaining talent
Inspiring investment and entrepreneurship
Supporting smart growth and small-scale development
The summit will feature dynamic presentations, engaging breakout sessions, and opportunities to collaborate with some of the nation’s most influential community builders, including Quint Studer and Chuck Marohn.

The Runge Strings Orchestra was created in 2001. The Orchestra consists of undergraduate music majors and minors. The orchestra bears the name of the passionate and generous string music supporter, the late Mr. Paul Runge. The orchestra’s repertoire includes music from the Baroque and Classical eras to the compositions of the 21st century. The ensemble typically presents four concerts per year as well as accompanying various other groups both on and off campus.

The first concert of the semester marks the 21st season opener for the UWF Chamber Music Concert Series at the beautiful, historic Old Christ Church. Under the direction of Dr. Hedi Salanki, members of the UWF Chamber Music Class will perform a variety of chamber music repertoire, featuring a wide range of instruments and ensembles. The audience will hear chamber music pieces written for piano, strings, flute, clarinet, harpsichord, cello, and castanet. The selections include arias, vocal duets, and musical-theater favorites. Music of Bach, Purcell, Handel, Mozart, Chopin, Lalo, Ravel, Schubert, and others will make the first concert of the season exciting and special.

The University of West Florida Singers was founded in 1967 at the newly established University of West Florida. With frequent collaborative performances with the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, the Pensacola Choral Society, and the Pensacola Children's Chorus, the UWF Singers have continued to be an example of choral excellence in the Northwest Florida region.
