#AmericanSouth Roundtable | Building an Aligned and Supportive Community

Join fellow economic development professionals for an open discussion on building stronger, more aligned, and supportive communities through collaboration. Facilitated by Dr. Joann Massey of EDGE in Memphis, Tennessee, this roundtable will explore how to turn collaborative conversations into clear responsibilities and meaningful action, listen effectively to community members so their priorities are reflected in local strategies, and build partnerships that stand the test of time. Together, we’ll discuss how to work outside of traditional silos and across sectors, engage local, state, and federal partners, and find the balance between collective community goals and your organization's own mission, role, and boundaries.
