What would it take for Seattle to become a thriving region where prosperity is truly shared? Join us on 11/16 for a hands-on workshop centered around our Scorecard for Shared Prosperity. This virtual event is not a passive panel discussion. After getting a quick overview of the Scorecard, attendees will break into groups and dive deeper into one of three dimensions — individuals, households and communities — to make sense of the data and identify the most pressing areas for improvement. These small-group conversations will be co-led by Andrea Caupain Sanderson, CEO at Byrd Barr Place; Marie Kurose, CEO at Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County; and Dennis E. Worsham, interim director of Public Health — Seattle & King County. More details and registration: https://lnkd.in/eNAQiuqE
