Description

** Canceled **


A virtual panel event on what intentional community investment looks like and how to use it effectively to close disparity gaps. 

$1.78 Billion Dollars of COVID stimulus dollars are entering the state. What does it mean for you, your family, your business, schools, and community? 

Join us for a panel event with local leaders to discuss how to mobilize communities, put the decision-making power back in community hands, and spend funds intentionally. The pandemic has shown us the reality of the wealth gap - and has only increased its size. These four leaders will share their knowledge and insight on how to close disparity gaps through short term investment and long-term strategy.
