Three Ways To Connect

Coffee & Conversations, the Business Spotlight, and the Youth Conversation Program — built to keep Douglas County connected, informed, and heard.

Coffee & Conversations
Business Spotlight
Youth Conversations

Coffee & Conversations

Real conversations. Real questions. One community.

A few times a year, Commissioner Mitchell sits down with residents over coffee for an open, unscripted conversation — no podium, just real answers to real questions, from a commissioner who's for the whole county.

Business Spotlight

Small Businesses Behind The Counter

Small businesses are catalysts to the success of Douglas County. This program gives local business owners an opportunity to tell their story, showcase what they do, and introduce their business to the community.

We currently feature approximately four businesses per month, with one episode released each week.
