Highlights From #NYEC2024 Annual Forum- Together Toward Tomorrow: Pursuing Youth Prosperity
This year's 2024 NYEC Annual Forum - Together Toward Tomorrow: Pursuing Youth Prosperity was a huge success! The event was attended by 500 participants from across fields and from across the country gathered in Atlanta. The forum was also featured on several news platforms including Atlanta News 9 and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. NYEC was thrilled to include remarks from the Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor, Julie Su; Atlanta Mayor, Andre Dickens, CEO and Founder of LeadersUp, Jeffery Wallace; amongst other incredible panelists and speakers. NYEC would like to extend a huge "thank you" to our workshop speakers who brought their expertise and provided close to 60 sessions over 3 days, record-breaking numbers for our events. Your knowledge, on-the-ground work, and research is what make convenings like these so successful, and we are lucky to be able to bring together experts such as yourselves each year.
