This equity-centered networking reception is designed to complement the objectives of the Connect 351 conference.
The intent is to create an inclusive networking environment where municipal leaders, minority-owned business owners, and community stakeholders can connect, share resources, and explore solutions for fostering diversity and equity in local government.
Attendance at this reception is optional for Connect 351 attendees.
The reception will be held at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport, in the Marquee Room on the 2nd floor.
What to expect: Lively conversation, connection-building, and an insightful fireside chat with state and local leaders, where attendees will explore ways to cultivate inclusive, community-centered municipal environments.
The fireside chat will feature Sen. Liz Miranda, Sharon Select Board Chair Kiana Baskin, and Boston City Councillor Ruthzee Louijeune, and will be moderated by MMA Chief Equity Officer Jill Harvey.
Light hors d’oeuvres and one drink ticket included with RSVP (while supplies last). Cash bar will also be available.
This event is hosted by the Massachusetts Municipal Association in collaboration with LiteWork Events and with support from the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus. All of LiteWork’s events are open to the public.
Municipal government is a great place to work! Cities and towns deliver a wide range of essential, quality-of-life services directly to residents: education, public safety, public works, libraries and much more. Municipalities offer a safe and stable work environment and great benefits. If you want to do work that really matters, local government may be the place for you!
