Office Hours are casual, one-hour virtual events held every week for members of Strong Towns.
Chuck Marohn, other Strong Towns staff, and special guests join these sessions to discuss specific topics and answer questions. It’s like a Strong Towns professor being available for students to drop by and chat.
You can submit questions in advance, which will be answered first, and you can ask more questions during the session.
Every Friday from 1-2pm CT & Monthly Monday Sessions with Chuck Marohn

What is an Office Hours session?
Chuck Marohn and other staff and special guests will host drop-in office hours for members to receive input on specified topics and for general discussion.
These one-hour, members-only virtual "events" will be pretty casual—akin to a professor having their door open for students to drop by with questions or for a chat. Office Hours run every week, with different staff members and special guests serving as the presenters and facilitators each week.
Just to let you know, questions can be pre-submitted; these will be answered first. Once pre-submitted questions are covered, there will be opportunities for attendees to unmute and ask further questions.
You can also email norm@strongtowns.org with your question.
