Friday, October 11
8:30AM-5:00PM
Portland State University
1825 SW Broadway,
Portland, OR 97201 | | About the Regional Livability Summit:
The Regional Livability Summit is an annual gathering of local leaders and community members, including leaders from community based organizations, students, government, and elected officials. The theme for the 2013 Regional Livability Summit is: Equity in Action: Map to a Healthy Future.
This year’s Summit will be CLF’s first opportunity to use the findings from the Regional Equity Atlas 2.0 Project to initiate dialogue around substantial equitable change. Using maps as a foundation, the Summit will provide analyses on key issues and discuss strategies designed to strengthen equity policies and practices in the public sector.
Additionally, the Summit will provide a forum to highlight stories of regional disparities from the perspective of community members who experience them. Using photos and videos, this participatory storytelling project will illuminate inequities through art and storytelling.
