The Policy Solutions team led by Emily Dowdall at Reinvestment Fund knows how to build community through data information sharing. Our Executive Director, Wesley E. Myrick, was among the featured leaders asked to share about anchor institutions' role in community development. Our houses of worship can add even greater value to communities through our policy work. Many thanks to the KNGDM Group, the Student Freedom Initiative, and The Steinbridge Group for being amazing collaborators and to the moderator Christina Alexis.
