Over 1,000 people from across America have registered to attend the Advancing Regional Equity: The Second National Summit on Equitable Development, Social Justice, and Smart Growth at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, in Philadelphia, May 23-25.
"The people coming to the summit," says Angela Glover Blackwell, founder and CEO of PolicyLink, summit co-sponsor, "are ready to share experience, knowledge, and information to help build true inclusion in America by challenging 50 years of neglect and sprawling development patterns that have been supported by vast public and private investments."
Summit participants include foundation executives, nonprofit leaders, community organizers, business leaders, developers, academics, and advocates who are determined to make equality, social justice, and smart growth accessible in America's cities, suburbs, and rural communities, and Blackwell continues, "who are ready to deliver on a truly inclusive agenda, one that is rooted in lessons learned from hard work in neighborhoods all across America."
