Leadership Summit Debrief

In September, NCRC convened more than 160 community leaders, financial institutions, and policy experts in Nashville for a bold new kind of summit, one focused not on more panels, but on structured, action-oriented dialogue. We heard from national thought leaders about the “new normal” facing communities: shrinking federal support, widening disparities, and a growing sense of isolation among local changemakers. We listened, reflected, and rolled up our sleeves to start imagining what new systems we need to build—in housing, small business and workforce—to ensure inclusive, sustainable futures.

The work took place through dialogue tables that brought people together, data-driven discussions that helped us understand the facts, and community ideas that inspired new ways to make change. We also explored partnerships across different sectors to find solutions that go beyond “business as usual.”

Now, the work continues. Join us for our Post-Summit Debrief, Wednesday, November 6, 1 pm ET.

Already, 200+ people have registered to hear the key themes, what we’ve learned, and how this will inform NCRC’s coalition-building, advocacy and member support strategy going forward.

If you care about building a just economy, this is your invitation to stay engaged and help shape what’s next.
