We are continuing the conversation we started at our Empowerment & Policy Conference last February, with a focus on preparing for a new school year in the ongoing pandemic. We will also feature a panel of education leaders, parents and students who will discuss navigating the upcoming school year. The Urban League of Louisiana's Advancing Education Equity reports paint the picture of how subgroups of students are doing across school systems and show that we have a lot of work to do - and that we have to keep working together. In this education equity town hall you will hear: Various viewpoints about how we can increase education equity The impact of the recent legislative session on education Navigating the start of the school year during the pandemic Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CTfOHgPWTouup3i6OA1DsA
During this special online series, Black-owned small businesses will gain insights and learn concrete steps that can be taken to reach the full financial potential of their businesses.The Urban League of Louisiana's Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation understands that one of the keys to closing the racial wealth gap in the Black community is through entrepreneurship and other pathways that yield economic independence and prosperity. The COVID-19 pandemic, social injustice, and the economic downturn have presented challenges that have stunted the growth of many Black-owned small businesses, and some have even closed their doors. This means: rethinking your business model towards scalability, agility and resilience; examining your revenue model and growth metrics to ensure profitability; optimizing your pricing strategy for profit and cash flow; and leveraging the right financial resources to meet your growth needs.
