The 12th Annual Community Development Summit, hosted annually by Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group in conjunction with the Urban Land Institute - Pittsburgh District Council, is the premier regional conference covering community development topics. Our two-day event showcases PCRG’s work with and on behalf of our 60 members and highlights state-of-the-art community development techniques. Attendees gain exposure to industry best practices and national trends, develop tactics to enhance the quality of life of those they serve, and dive deeply into sessions that discuss how communities are creating cross-sector partnerships for lasting, inclusive change.
The Summit’s theme [RE]DEFINING EQUITY, EQUALITY, AND JUSTICE IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT is continued for a third year as we move from identifying obstacles, strategic planning, and best practices to improving Equity, Equality, and Justice by putting the information gained during the last two Summits into action. Participants will hear from people who can speak about what steps are currently working, how they plan to implement plans moving into the future, and how they plan to define what success means when it comes to Racial Equality.
