Description
While the change we often seek is systematic, many of the challenges and opportunities leaders encounter start with something very personal. Join this session to hear from Bambie Hayes-Brown and Sara Toering as they share on:
- How community development partnerships are helping to disrupt and reform inequitable and racist laws, policies, and practices in Georgia;
- The experiences that helped them evolve from resident organizers and tenant advocates to national community development leaders; and
- Community development’s opportunity to create change and more leaders today.
Set to the backdrop of the state of Georgia which is the well-known home of the world’s busiest airport, host of one of the most memorable Olympic games, and the seat of a thriving local economy; join in to hear their experiences, share questions, and interact with two active change leaders who are focused on place-based reform.
