Roundtable on Community Change

Convenings

The Roundtable is known for hosting local, regional and national convenings that allow national leaders in the community-change field to grapple with the field’s most challenging issues. We are frequently invited to facilitate or organize similar meetings on behalf of leading organizations in the field. For our racial equity presentations, click here.

UPCOMING CONVENINGS:

The Roundtable on Community Change, with the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation, will host a Learning Exchange for residents who are leading change in their communities to learn from each other and capture lessons about resident-led community change, June 27-29 in San Diego. Please check back for more updates including the program application in the coming weeks!

PAST CONVENINGS: The following is a partial list, illustrating the variety of convenings that the Roundtable holds.

• Improving the Outcomes of Place-Based Initiatives: The Roundtable co-hosted a conference with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco in February of 2010 in San Francisco.  Janet Yellen, the President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, gave the closing address, and Raphael Bostic, Asst. Secretary for Policy Development and Research at HUD, was among the distinguished panelists. 
• Community Change Leaders: In July of 2009, the Roundtable held a 2-day meeting of key leaders in the field of placed-based initiatives, as part of our effort to capture the state of the field of community change efforts and learn from the insights and experiences of people doing the work on the ground. The discussions helped to inform the third volume in the Aspen Roundtable series Voices from the Field. 
• Strategic Philanthropy and Community Equity:  Jointly hosted by the Roundtable and MDC, this 2009 meeting engaged philanthropic leaders in discussions of how their organizations could promote an equity agenda, and the internal changes that would be needed to do so.
