Racial Equity Dinner: Community Wealth Building

September 16th, 7:00pm-9:30pm

Racial equity is a priority for those seeking tangible and lasting social change. Conduit members are promoting new approaches in the social and impact investment sectors to help address the inequities that damage our societies. One question we ask is how to build community wealth. If you are passionate about finding such solutions, join us for a second dinner hosted by our Conduit Impact Champion Patricia Hamzahee. Patricia is once again inviting a few special guests to provide thoughtful provocations, including Rev Dr Keith Magee, a noted intellectual shaping public discourse on social justice and racial equity. Come along to get to know your fellow members over a delicious meal and exchange ideas for collaboration and action.
