- 5:30pm - 7:00pm Leveraging National Lessons Locally
Van Winkle Law Firm Board Room
11 North Market Street
Building upon the morning session, we will hear from Marty Blank, a national leader in building community and school partnerships. Marty will share the lessons learned by cities across the nation, including Albuquerque NM and Portland OR, and how they've transformed education, financial and health outcomes for their communities using the same strategy we are using here.
We will then discuss how to take the efforts already underway locally, to scale, by enlisting a broad coalition of support for students, families and their communities.
