Social Cohesion: Making Access, Inclusion, and Equity Priorities in Resilience

About this talk

REPLAY COMING SOON!

Join the RNPN and leaders from the private and public sectors as we discuss how to build community trust and advance resilience. It takes a unified effort to address equity and inclusion. Where are we now? How do we support community priorities? How do we ensure consistent and reliable collaboration? We will tackle these questions and set a path forward for the next four weeks and beyond.
