We were thrilled to send one of our early career professionals to this event. What a great way to learn about the role of economic policies and programs in delivering economic opportunity for communities of color and all Massachusetts residents. Thanks to Nutter for hosting this MassEcon event!
Key economic policies and programs can ensure that communities of color across the Commonwealth benefit from the sustained growth of our economy. Nutter is proud to host this year’s MassEcon Diversity & Equity in Massachusetts Economic Development panel event on Oct. 1, featuring leaders in the industry sharing their stories, ideas, and goals to ensure sustained, equitable economic growth for communities of color in Massachusetts. We are proud to have Nutter’s Public Policy & Government Affairs co-chair, Daniel P. Mulhern, welcome guests for this important conversation. https://lnkd.in/eYbcmMwu
