************************************************************************ This spring, a powerful two-day summit will launch an inclusive cross sector regional network to advance racial equity and ensure opportunities for all. Led by a collaborative of community residents, organizations, and government leaders committed to transformation,  resilience, and healing, the City of Boston has joined a national movement to ensure that policies and practices that impact the lives of residents are just and equitable. The goals of the summit, held at Northeastern University, May 16 and 17, 2016, are to: Increase understanding and commitment to racial equity across sectors:  Share local and national best practices in promoting racial equity. Develop cooperative strategies for racial equity across jurisdictions, communities and sectors. The summit promises to offer powerful tools for government agencies, community and civic organizations, philanthropic organizations, and businesses to ensure that their policies and practices do not create or maintain unintended unfair advantages or disadvantages based on race. Additionally, the summit serves to launch an ongoing regional network across Greater Boston and New England.
