Join the Urban Institute, with support from JPMorgan Chase & Co., for a convening to explore the connections between financial health and inclusive growth. Throughout the day, leading policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and philanthropists from across the country will share their insights on building financial health into municipal resiliency planning, engaging underrepresented stakeholder perspectives in inclusive growth, creating partnerships between stakeholders in the financial health and inclusive growth fields to achieve shared goals, and harnessing economic growth for all.

Conversations will be grounded in Urban’s evidence-based insights on the financial health of residents and innovative case examples from various communities. Participants will also have the opportunity to network with others in the financial health and inclusive growth fields. Mayor Rick Kriseman of St. Petersburg, Florida, will join for a featured lunchtime discussion.
