The 15 counties of Northeast Ohio are home to more than 4 million people, making the region larger in population than 23 states. Our regional economy is greater than many small countries and employs one-third of all workers in the state of Ohio. Together, thinking and acting as a region, Northeast Ohio can be a collective force to be reckoned with in the global economy.
At this one-and-a-half-day conference, examine specific poverty issues and the role community development practitioners play in meeting the challenges of concentrated poverty in order to transform communities. Policy experts will share strategies for reshaping federal and state programs to attract private investment.
