Flashback to 2023: Under the dedicated leadership of our co-chairs, Dr. Cynthia Neal-Spence and Sarah Irvin, and with the meticulous efforts of the Conversations committee, our 10th annual Conversations event inspired attendees to take action. Last years Conversations event featured a poverty simulation activity, facilitated to provide participants with a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized communities. Additionally, an engaging open-floor conversation was moderated by Condace Pressley, the Director of Community and Public Affairs at WSB-TV, adding depth and perspective to the discussions.
