2018 Conference: October 8-9, UW - Madison Memorial Union Growing Inclusive Communities
Just last week in Madison, we gathered to hear how local communities in Wisconsin are working to be the values that we cherish. Speakers included:
- Annette Miller of EQT by Design who opened the conference, speaking on inclusion and engagement.
- Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna, joined by Karen Nelson, the Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator for Appleton, described how the city is enacting equity and diversity in municipal operations.
- Revel Sims, Assistant Professor in the UW-Madison’s Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture, spoke on affordable housing challenges, evictions, and displacement.
