The Policy Summit
Community development issues such as workforce and economic development, small business credit, and access to good jobs and affordable housing affect regions across the nation in distinct ways. Since the early 2000s, the Cleveland Fed has convened a regional policy forum that explores how such issues play out in low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities. The now-biennial Policy Summit, a multi-day event, offers attendees the latest research on and best practices for addressing these and other challenges facing LMI communities. Attendees explore examples of local successes and have real-world conversations about policy solutions with fellow researchers, funders, and practitioners.
The Policy Summit features session and keynote speakers from academia, philanthropic organizations, government, and the private sector. Who attends? Hundreds of bankers, elected officials, funders, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers, from across the Midwest and the country.
