Join Next City on August 3 as we discuss how economic development can play a key role in racial equity and promoting economic well-being for communities of color.

The International Economic Development Council’s (IEDC) Equitable Economic Development Playbook offers concrete steps and recommendations on how economic development can play a key role in racial equity and promoting economic well-being for communities of color. To help detail the actionable steps within the playbook, Gregory Johnson, Managing Director of U.S. Equity and Economic Opportunity at The Rockefeller Foundation, will have a candid discussion with IEDC’s Vice President of Knowledge Management and Development, Frankie Clogston, Ph.D., about centering equity in economic development practices and leveraging incentives and tools to build inclusive local economies.
