• Mashonda Taylor: Mashanda will share lessons from Birmingham’s Woodlawn United.

• Matt Leach: Matt brings to the stage lessons learned from the United Kingdom, and how these can be adapted to the United States.
• Nate Tubbs: Drawing on his work with Together Chicago, Nate will highlight key advancements in neighborhood-based collaboration.
• August Elliot: Will share the work of the Neighborhood Village project to reweave the social fabric of the world, one neighborhood at a time.
