John,
Did you know that, in the United States, a baby’s financial outlook is determined by how much wealth they are born into? Baby Bonds are a policy that can start changing that. Baby Bonds have gained momentum at the state and local levels over the past several years. Furthermore, Connecticut and Washington DC passed the first Baby Bonds policies in 2021, and several other states have proposed legislation.
Join us to learn more on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at 2:00 PM EDT! This time, we will be joined by a special guest and testing out a new way to explore content!
“The Break Room: Baby Bonds” is an interactive, casual learning opportunity that will delve into the current landscape of Baby Bonds and its overall impact thus far on financial security. We are excited to announce that Nichelle Gilbert, the Executive Director of Partnership for Community Action (PCA), will join us to have this important conversation!
Nichelle has more than 15 years of lived and professional experience working to support economic and educational system change alongside BIPOC communities that have been excluded historically and systematically. Before PCA, Nichelle worked for over a decade in higher education to increase and support a diverse health workforce in New Mexico. Nichelle was the primary liaison for the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNMHSC) Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, providing professional and technical leadership consultation across strategic initiatives.
During this webinar, attendees will:
- Gain a deeper understanding of child-wealth-building policies in our field;
- Examine the full spectrum of Baby Bonds and implications for our work;
- Explore the relationship between building federal momentum and state/local momentum on critical child wealth-building policies.
