Equity is essential through economic recovery.

Join us as we explore together these and many other questions:

  • How can we reconsider, reposition and rework economic development to be more inclusive?
  • What strategies can you employ in your communities to address and reverse disparities and ensure economic opportunities for all?
  • What resources can economic developers, small business service providers and other leaders use to learn more about diversity, eq­­­­uity and inclusion?
  • How can we help diversify our own field and grow and diversify the talent pipeline?
  • What can be done to better leverage procurement to help disadvantaged small businesses?
  • How could we better leverage the many strengths and talents of our regional and statewide economic development and small business service delivery ecosystems?
  • What additional resources do we need to do this important work well?
