Improving economic mobility and the importance of building long-term economic stability and prosperity are key priorities for municipalities nationwide. To build a prosperous community, all residents must have opportunities to grow and thrive economically. Given the increased importance of economic mobility, local leaders are on the frontlines of developing programming, policies, and procedures that directly impact the economic mobility of their residents. For rural communities and their leaders, the impacts and challenges are amplified.
As rural communities grapple with economic mobility challenges, the National League of Cities will showcase the impact rural leaders are making on their communities today. During this 60-minute webinar, you will hear from local leaders from the two most recent Advancing Economic Mobility Rapid Grant cohorts. Each of these local leaders will share lessons learned from their own economic mobility programs and key takeaways for municipalities of all sizes. From outreach and integration with key partners to getting buy-in for economic mobility programs, the insights from this conversation can be applied to all municipal leaders.
Join NLC during this important conversation that showcases the power of rural communities and how their lessons learned can shape economic mobility on a national scale.
