Game-Changer Plenary

Local governments typically begin an economic mobility journey with a familiar, linear approach: analyze data, launch a program, and measure impact. But the real work happens in the messy, unscripted spaces between the lines of a strategic plan. In this session, leaders from Morgan Hill, California, pull back the curtain on the implementation of ELEVATE Morgan Hill, sharing the unexpected challenges, difficult pivots, and breakthrough moments that shaped our journey.

We’ve learned that economic mobility work requires constant adaptation, peer learning, and a fair amount of acrobatics. Join us in a candid conversation about real-world execution, enriched by raw lessons from communities across the country, to surface the transferable strategies and practical insights it actually takes to truly move the needle.
