Roundtable Discussions

WFEA’s Monthly Roundtable is a thoughtful and engaging conversation that brings together some of the most influential voices in our community. Held on the last Thursday of every month in the 9am hour during the Morning Update, this special segment is moderated by Jeff Chidister and features a rotating panel of three guests—ranging from local leaders and policymakers to business innovators and community advocates.
Each month centers around a new, timely topic that matters to Greater Manchester and beyond. From economic development and public policy to education, public safety, and quality of life, the Roundtable dives into the issues shaping our region—offering diverse perspectives, informed debate, and meaningful dialogue.
Tune in. Listen in. Be part of the conversation.
