Time: 2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. (AICP-CM: 1)
Holiday Ballroom 3
Speaker:
- Ross Tilchin, Director of the Economic Mobility Catalog, Solutions Team at Results for America
In this interactive session, participants will learn about and use Results for America’s Economic Mobility Catalog to identify evidence-based strategies to advance upward mobility. First, speakers from Results for America will introduce the Economic Mobility Catalog tool, a resource that contains hundreds of resources on evidence-based programs, strategies, and policies. Then, RFA staff will guide session participants through an exercise that will help them find promising approaches for their communities, build a case for investments in these strategies, and articulate next steps towards implementation.
This session is eligible for Certification Maintenance credits with the American Institute of Certified Planners. If you are an AICP member and attend the session in full, you can add credits to your CM log by searching for the “National Economic Mobility and Opportunity Conference 2025” in the CM Search menu and selecting specific sessions from those associated with the event.
