The National Economic Mobility and Opportunity Conference
The National Economic Mobility and Opportunity (EMO) Conference is a convening of changemakers in the economic mobility and opportunity space.
EMO is a concept often explained colloquially as “doing better than your parents.” While frequently associated with income, several interconnected factors can influence an individual’s access to economic mobility and opportunity. The National EMO Conference is an opportunity for local leaders to gather across sectors and focus areas to address these interrelated issues and systems.
