2025 will be a pivotal year for our nation. With the economy projected to continue to grow, we have an opportunity to direct this growth into investments and policies that enhance the quality of life across the country. By prioritizing sustainable and inclusive growth, we can ensure that the benefits of economic progress reach all communities, contributing to a thriving society. Achieving this vision starts with empowering leaders at all levels with timely, relevant and granular data that reflect the unique needs and contexts of the communities they serve. 

Join NLC and the Social Progress Imperative for an engaging discussion with leaders from government, business and community organizations in exploring data-driven approaches to foster more just, inclusive and thriving communities. Using insight from the U.S. Social Progress Map, this webinar will examine the pressing challenges facing cities and neighborhoods, including inclusiveness, access to affordable and quality healthcare and housing, public safety, and the protection of rights. Hear from frontline leaders who have successfully leveraged data-driven insights to guide impactful decisions and create lasting change in their communities.
