This past year and a half has shown us that by setting aside differences and working toward the common good, we can make extraordinary things happen. Let’s celebrate our work as we learn new ways of thinking that will inspire us to action!
Our amazing presenters will speak to the broad and complex intersections of data and race and public policy.
