State of Milwaukee Summit: Covid-19 & Racial Equity-What Have We Learned and Where Do We Go from Here?

November 17, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

Two and a half years since the onset of a global pandemic that radically transformed our lives and society in numerous ways, what has been the impact of Covid-19 on our neighborhoods and communities? How has Covid-19 further revealed and magnified existing inequalities in our city and region? How have city and county government services been affected, and what role can the public sector play to restore or transform to meet the present challenges? How are businesses and community organizations faring and what does the future look like? What have we learned that can be applied in the way forward? Our distinguished panel of community leaders will reflect on the impact of Covid-19 and racial equity in Milwaukee and offer up their vision for the future.

Opening Remarks by Mark Mone, UWM Chancellor

Panelists
Cavalier Johnson, Mayor of Milwaukee
David Crowley, County Executive of Milwaukee County
Joel Brennan, President, Greater Milwaukee Committee
Ellen M. Gilligan, President & CEO, Greater Milwaukee Foundation
