Creating New Pathways to Capital (Invite only)

-

Community and economic development leaders are operating in a complex, changing, and fiscally constrained era where business as usual for government operations and problem-solving just won’t do. The Milken Institute's Pathways to Capital programs are focused on strengthening ground-up solutions for expanding community wealth and resilience by providing direct assistance to economic development officials, capital providers, and entrepreneurs. During this private session, attendees will discuss new initiatives to fortify community investment infrastructure through public-private partnerships, as well as our role during times of change.
