Civic Confidence & Creativity: Conversations That Shape Our Communities

  • Suite Escape 400 East Illinois Rd LAKE FOREST United States (map)

Sylvie Légère, Co-Founder & CEO of The Policy Circle

In a culture saturated with opinion and noise, how do thoughtful women stay grounded, informed, and engaged in meaningful dialogue?

Join us for lunch and a discussion with Sylvie Légère,  Founder of The Policy Circle, exploring the creative economy,  civic confidence, community dialogue, and the powerful role women play in shaping ideas and culture within their communities.

Under Sylvie’s leadership, The Policy Circle has grown into a national organization dedicated to giving women the tools, knowledge, and confidence to engage in informed, solution-oriented discussions about the systems that shape everyday life. Today, thousands of women across the country participate in policy circles—gatherings designed to encourage critical thinking, respectful listening, and constructive engagement.

Our time together will begin with a short fireside conversation with Sylvie, followed by a guided discussion inspired by the Policy Circle model. Please read The Policy Circle’s mini-brief on the creative economy; participants are encouraged to review it in advance to prepare for a thoughtful discussion about how creativity, culture, and ideas drive economic vitality and strengthen communities.

Together we will explore:

  • How to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed

  • How civic confidence strengthens leadership in everyday life

  • How creativity and culture contribute to thriving communities

Join us for an intimate lunch designed for women who care deeply about ideas, leadership, and the health of their communities—and who feel called not just to observe the conversation, but to participate in it.
