Join the National League of Cities (NLC) for an insightful webinar on the activities and learnings from the Southern Cities Economic Inclusion (SCEI) initiative. Economic inclusion is the process of ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their race, gender, or socio-economic background, have equal access to economic opportunities and resources. It involves creating policies and programs that eliminate employment, entrepreneurship, and wealth-building barriers. For municipalities, prioritizing economic inclusion is crucial as it fosters a more equitable and prosperous community. By promoting inclusive growth, municipalities can enhance social cohesion, reduce poverty, and create a more resilient local economy that benefits everyone.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into the critical elements driving successful economic inclusion efforts and learn practical strategies to apply in their municipalities. This is an excellent opportunity for NLC members and local government leaders to learn from the experiences of cities participating in SCEI and enhance their economic inclusion efforts.
Register for this webinar to gain valuable insights and practical strategies to advance economic inclusion in your community.
