The CONNECT Symposium is an annual forum to examine best practices in helping families move from poverty to long-term economic stability. Attendees include business and civic leaders, leading thinkers, policymakers and practitioners, elected officials and other concerned individuals and institutions.
Join CONNECT as we discuss the role of individual and peer support in integrated service delivery for economic development programs. The Symposium is free and open to the public.
- Panel 1: Research and data panel: Research has shown that integrated service delivery exponentially improves financial outcomes for individuals working toward financial stability and mobility. What’s the role of coaching and peer support in ensuring that the gains made are lasting?
- Panel 2: Practitioners Panel: Practitioner spotlight on programs that are supporting lasting change through coaching and peer support.
The CONNECT Investors Forum, held immediately following the Symposium, is an important venue for building collaborative working relationships among individuals and organizations from the business, nonprofit, and public sectors involved in the work and mission of CONNECT. Individual tickets to the Investors Forum are available for a donation of $100 each.
WATCH: A quick story in how just one years’ time the CONNECT program turned a $30,000 planning grant from United Way of Massachussetts Bay and Merimack Valley into a $3 million grant from the US Department of Labor!
