The Alliance convened more than 200 community leaders, public officials, philanthropic partners, researchers, and social innovators for the inaugural Trust in Practice Summit.
This wasn’t a traditional conference.
It was a space to practice trust through storytelling, collaboration, and shared purpose. Together, we explored the mindsets and methods behind trust-building, learned from community-rooted leaders, and laid the groundwork for new cross-sector partnerships.
What we explored.
- Building trust through local action and shared identity
- Translating research into practice
- Strengthening cross-sector and cross-geography partnerships
- Elevating narratives that shift how we see one another
