The Welcoming Economies Convening

Topics:
  • Undocumented Workers
  • Employment
  • Other Immigration
  • Advocacy

Immigrants are contributors to job creation and prosperity growth of a community, helping to fill critical workforce needs, launch businesses, revitalize neighborhoods, and bring diversity of thought, culture, and experience to a region. In this session, you will learn why economic development leaders, chambers of commerce, and elected officials across the Rust Belt are investing in immigrant economic development models, and what those models look like on the ground. Participants will then work through a series of questions designed to make the connection between immigrant inclusion and broader economic development strategies. Participants will walk away with concrete action steps for local partnership.
