Roundtable Event Description:

The Community Progress Network (CPN), a coalition of more than 30 nonprofit, government, education and community leaders is committed to improving the lives of those living in poverty by promoting equity and inclusion. CPN does this through community education, collective advocacy, and engagement to amplify the voice and increase the participation of low-income Arlingtonians.

The goal of the roundtable events is to create a platform through which participants feel valued and heard, provide insights and ideas for ways we all can address needs, design programs and make decisions that promote equity in our community.
