06/10/2024

Day 2 of Guilford Dialogues 2024 continued to build momentum around our theme, "Building Strategies for Economic Inclusion." We began with a welcome and an impactful panel on generational wealth and poverty, introduced by Frank McCain, CEO of United Way of Greater Greensboro. Panelists delved into the complexities of wealth transfer and socioeconomic disparities, providing valuable insights into economic and social justice.

The discussion continued with a panel on the role of higher education in fostering economic inclusion, introduced by Mark Justad. Educators and community leaders examined how colleges and universities can support students from diverse backgrounds through scholarships, mentorships, and career development initiatives.

A highlight of the day was the featured speech by Kory Bailey, CEO of UpSurge Baltimore, during our lunch session.

The afternoon included a re-entry simulation and a panel on creating an inclusive economy for justice-impacted individuals. Panelists shared innovative approaches to breaking down systemic barriers and fostering economic stability for those affected by the criminal justice system.

Thank you to all our speakers and participants for their engagement and contributions. Let's continue driving meaningful change!
