Resistance to Renewal a 12-Step Program for Innovation and Inclusion in the California Economy.is built around the idea that in order for us to create a California that is for all, economic institutions need to be built that:
o Grow the economy—contributing to innovation and economic dynamism
o Connect people and places—contributing to equity and opportunity
o Secure livelihoods for families and communities—reducing fear, promoting stability and encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship
Why Should You Attend?
– To Grow: learn about how equity in communities makes financial sense, seeds innovation and catalyzes economic opportunity.
– To Connect: connect with leaders in California from across different sectors and political perspectives who are thinking deeply about how to create solidarity, inclusion and economic prosperity in our communities.
– To Secure: engage in a robust and dynamic dialogue about how increasing security for all encourages more innovation and entrepreneurship in communities and how you can be involved in leading this work across the State.
