Equity Summit: Healthy Communities, Strong Regions, A Prosperous America

Posted by on August 22, 2011

Healthy Communities, Strong Regions, A Prosperous America
Detroit, Michigan, November 8-11, 2011

America stands on a precipice. Unprecedented economic challenges are testing our leaders making it hard to reach consensus on the strategies that are needed to invest in our future. At the same time, the country is approaching a historic demographic shift, when no single racial or ethnic group will hold the majority. And the 2012 election is bearing down.  The way forward is uncertain, but it needn’t be.  There is no better time to craft an agenda focused on equity: just and fair inclusion for all.
