Global Goals Local Leaders Forum: Overcoming Poverty Hosted by the United Nations Association - Sacramento
Event hosted by the United Nations Association, Sacramento
Chapter. CPIR Executive Committee Member Marianne Bitler is
participating.
The United Nations Association, Sacramento Chapter, is proud to
present the first of our “Global Goals Local Leaders” forums.
Each event will be dedicated to celebrating the Sustainable
Development Goals — and exploring how local leaders are making
these goals a reality in our own community.
This month, the inaugural forum will focus on Sustainable
Development Goal #1: No Poverty.
Our panel of policy experts and practitioners will explore the
innovative interventions and practices that are being deployed to
tackle the causes and consequences of poverty in our own
community.
Attendees will have the opportunity to network, ask questions,
support the efforts, and learn about the progress that is being
made.
