We are excited to share three national conferences this year each offering unique collaborative spaces to learn and share with others who, like you, are committed to racial equity, racial justice and working to create communities where everyone feels like they belong. Participants will have access to information, tools, and resources on racial equity, share successful practices and inspiring stories about immigrant inclusion, programs, policies, and partnerships on economic development, civic engagement, government leadership, and more.
Please do let us know if you have any questions or if you are planning to attend so that we can meet up at the conference!
