Our 7th Annual Summit on Poverty, "From Poverty to Possibilities," held on November 14, 2023, was a transformative event focused on breaking down barriers to economic equity. This signature community summit, held at the Pavilion at the Hotel Murano, brought together community leaders and members to engage in open dialogue and address systemic issues perpetuating poverty.

This year's summit continued its commitment to dismantling exclusionary systems, fostering relationships, and evolving narratives that are more receptive to change. The event explored the community's role in disrupting the status quo, embracing discomfort, and building a more just and equitable society.

Keynote speaker Edgar Villanueva, an award-winning author, activist, and expert on race, wealth, philanthropy, and ESG investing, delivered a powerful address. As the Founder and Principal of Decolonizing Wealth Project and Liberated Capital, Villanueva shared insights on advancing racial equity within organizations and through investment strategies.
