Take Part in a Critical Discussion that Will Shape Our Region’s Future

This year’s forum will highlight the opportunities and challenges of issues affecting the sustainability of communities. You will discover the business community’s role in our rapidly growing region. Hear from national experts, regional leaders, and local professionals as we engage in collaborative discussions around unifying issues that will attract and retain talent to our thriving market.

Keynote Speaker
Widely known as one of the most influential authorities on racial justice in America, Khalil Gibran Muhammad is redefining our understanding of diversity; with his work featured in the likes of the New York Times’ landmark 1619 Project, and Ava DuVernay’s 13th. As Harvard Kennedy School Professor of History, Race, and Public Policy, he explains how “bias education”—race education—can help individuals and institutions reconcile the past within the present, and move towards greater equity, together. During this event, Dr. Muhammad will discuss the construct and history of systemic racism. His keynote will offer a globalist view of the systems of racism that are in place in our society.

Speaker
Sara Lawrence is program director of economic development at RTI International. She brings 20 years of experience helping people and places develop strategies, analyze data, and assess promising practices for economic development. She effectively interacts across all sectors—business, education, nonprofit, and government—to design and evaluate programs with action-specific solutions unique to the community of focus.

During this event, Ms. Lawrence will discuss the blueprint for dismantling systemic racism.
