Thank you for making our Third Annual Network Member Conference such a resounding success!

Nearly 250 leaders in business, government and education came from 26 cities to attend the Third Annual Purpose Built Communities Network Member Conference October 3 to 5 in Atlanta. Many of those leaders joined us from the growing number of communities exploring the Purpose Built framework for revitalizing neighborhoods and overcoming the cycle of poverty.

We were inspired and informed by our speakers including Erskine Bowles, Gov. Roy Barnes, Dr. Bernice A. King and Mike Feinberg. We appreciate all of our speakers, panelists, Network Members, and partners for being part of this movement and for connecting, sharing and networking so that all of us can become more effective in the work we do.

We look forward to seeing you next year!
