Attendees can expect interactive panels, breakout sessions, resource hubs, and vendor networking aimed at fostering collaboration, sharing resources, and activating community-level solutions.

“The event provides an opportunity to brighten the light on many of the social issues we face on a local level and even within our great city of Lauderhill,” said Lauderhill Mayor Denise D.
