Katsel, assistant vice president, community relations at the University of Arizona, and Prime, COO of Primavera Foundation, will lead the conversation on the Pima County Prosperity Initiative a partnership between Pima County and the city of Tucson.
Through evidence-based research and strong community and researcher input over a year-long investigation, 13 policies were identified that shift focus from measures related primarily to alleviating suffering to longer-term, more upstream solutions. With strong community support, a team is working to shape a platform for the private, nonprofit, public, and faith sectors to engage and innovate towards the larger goal of poverty reduction and community prosperity.
