Transforming Crisis into Power:

Working Together Towards a Just Economic Future

 We Are excited to invite you to the 2025 cemi plus convening, a two-Day gathering bringing together community-based organizations, foundations, and public sector allies working at the intersection of community power building and economic development. As we navigate a rapidly shifting economic and political landscape, the convening offers a timely opportunity to deepen relationships, align strategies, and explore bold approaches for building a just and resilient future. Together, we’ll engage in scenario planning, peer learning, case studies, and meaningful dialogue with funders and public agencies. 

Highlights include:

  • Opening plenary with community and statewide leaders

 

  • Peer learning tables on economic narratives, joint ventures, advocacy, and workforce development

 

  • Public agency roundtable sessions

 

  • Case studies on successful cross-sector partnerships

 

  • Collective visioning and strategy sessions
