What Sets Our Summit Apart
Power of Proximity is a movement bringing together people closest to the work to reimagine equitable, place-based community transformation.
What sets this summit apart is that the people most impacted by systemic challenges are not just attendees; they are leaders, contributors, and co-creators of the solutions driving real change in our community.
