LANI Community Forum April 22

Please join us to learn with Effie Turnbull Sanders, USC Vice President of Civic Engagement and Economic Partnerships, in conversation with LANI Co-Founder and Board member Joyce Perkins. These two deeply knowledgeable local leaders will be discussing how, in this unique post-pandemic moment, we can collaborate on large and small systemic changes to increase economic opportunity in L.A. neighborhoods that have been historically excluded or under-resourced. There will be time for questions from participants, and as always, this LANI Community Forum Session is free of charge for community members and our colleagues. We are particularly excited that, as a virtual event, people outside of Los Angeles can easily join us, so feel free to share far and wide! Please register on our website to participate, share with your neighbors and colleagues, and thank you for your support!
