Building the Inclusive Economy
About the Webinar
Asset and income inequality continues to increase, and low- and middle-income working Americans are finding it more difficult to achieve and maintain economic stability. At the same time, awareness of the importance of assets as a fundamental building block for economic stability is growing, and so are the opportunities to promote prosperity and financial empowerment through innovative programs and public policy. On this call, Andrea discusses how the asset-building field is bringing together community practice, public policy and private markets in new and effective ways to achieve greater economic impact and build a truly inclusive economy.
