Thank you so much for joining us at our 2022 EdLoC National Convening

Resilience & Reinvention:
Ensuring Families of Color Are Earning More, Building Wealth, and Thriving.

The 2022 EdLoC National Convening: "Resilience & Reinvention" is a three-day experience dedicated to advancing our mission and values. Through our convening theme we will focus on tackling the complexities of building generational wealth by promoting collaborative efforts among leaders of color in education and across public, private, and nonprofit sectors. 

Main stage conversations will feature social change visionaries and education innovators who are working to break down existing systemic barriers to progress. Smaller forums and sessions will provide the space for us to collectively learn and explore emerging research and practices to advance policy change, increase access to funding, and remake public education in a way that liberates our histories and centers economic development and wellness within school and community design. 

Join us for three days of connection, collaboration, and culture! Together we can ensure that young people of color are earning more, building wealth, and thriving.
