Dear John,

We know how much we all learned and enjoyed the 2022 Prosperity Summit in September. From the insightful sessions and inspiring panelists to the ample networking opportunities, none of us wanted it to end! And we're here to tell you that our march toward reimagining racial economic justice is not over...

Prosperity Now is excited to introduce the Prosperity Summit: Encore webinar series featuring innovations, learnings, resources and leaders like you from across the Prosperity Now Community. Whether or not you were able to join us for the 2022 Prosperity Summit, you will now get (virtual) access to the same great content as we gear up for the 2024 Prosperity Summit in Washington, D.C.

We are thrilled to kick off the series with Leveraging Racial Equity Impact Assessments (REIA) for Change, brought to you in partnership with the Montgomery County Office of Racial Equity & Social Justice and Office of Legislative Oversight.

This webinar will focus on Racial Equity Impact Assessments (REIA)—what it is, how it is used, and its outcomes. REIAs help decision-makers critically evaluate data and provide insights into historical and current structural inequities that may produce racialized outcomes and encourage community engagement, transparency, and accountability. By proactively including community input, REIAs mitigate harmful, unintended consequences and promote the use of a racial equity lens before decisions are made, supporting a community's effort to advance racial equity and social justice.

We hope that you join us, and bring a colleague or friend, on Wednesday, February 8, 2023, at 2:00 pm EST to benefit from the following:

Speakers’ insights on what a REIA is, why it is important and how the analysis and assessments are conducted
Real-world examples, best practices and different uses of REIAs
A Q&A session to ensure success when integrating REIAs into your own work and communities
Tangible examples of how to use REIAs as a racial equity tool in policy and program analysis and decision-making This webinar is free, but advanced registration is required—so register today!
