But the ceiling for what companies can do to promote civic participation is considerably higher. \nSo what are the most effective ways to increase employee participation in voting\, poll working\, community organizing\, and more? How can you help employees access information that will help them to participate productively and respectfully in civic life? And what can you do to support employees in managing workplace political dialogue when it inevitably happens? Based on new NationSwell research\, join us for a small-group workshop to learn directly from your peers about opportunities to increase and facilitate employee civic participation during the 2024 Presidential election cycle. \nThis workshop follows Chatham House Rule\, ensuring that participants can freely exchange ideas without attribution.

As we navigate the complex landscape of economic development\, it’s evident that affordable housing represents just one component of wealth building to establish sustainable prosperity. Workforce development\, small business support\, and educational access are also among the myriad of avenues through which wealth creation and social equity can be cultivated. As we explore the intersections of equity\, our goal is to uncover additional pathways that enhance economic mobility and empower communities to thrive\, thus fostering a landscape of inclusive prosperity. \nJoin us for this insightful conversation hosted by FUSE\,  in partnership with NationSwell\, featuring special guest Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas. Cities are increasingly at the vanguard of narrowing wealth gaps. Mayor Lucas is a leader in breaking cycles of poverty\, building wealth in communities of color\, and strengthening Kansas City’s economy to build healthier neighborhoods. Together\, we’ll exchange perspectives\, share insights\, and explore the meaning of exclusive economic growth. From dissecting the challenges to uncovering opportunities in wealth accumulation\, we’ll examine the vital role of public-private partnerships for a more equitable future. \n  \n\n  \nOur world is marked by constant social\, political\, economic\, and environmental shifts\, and it is up to us to come together to envision better possibilities for our communities. Join us for insightful cross-sector conversations where we explore opportunities to reimagine the fabric of our neighborhoods\, cities\, and towns to not just be resilient and adaptive to current and future challenges but to actually thrive in the face of these obstacles. In partnership with FUSE\, NationSwell presents the “Building Thriving Futures: Re-imagining and Strengthening America’s Communities.” This event series will cover issues like wealth building\, AI for good\, climate justice\, and civic engagement through the lens of cross-sector collaboration to surface solutions rooted in the needs and resources of communities across America. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mayor Quinton Lucas\nKansas City Mayor \nFeatured Guest \n \n Learn more\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

Research shows that frontline\, low-wage\, and gig workers are often disproportionately left out of benefits that full-time or part-time workers receive\, including childcare benefits. We are on a mission to change this\, and provide pathways for every employer – whether small or large – to play a critical role in helping families meet their basic needs\, and understand the impact of childcare on their business models. This session will center the voices of employers of frontline workers\, revealing the bright spots & challenges that they face when supporting these working families. \nFor context: The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects have had profound implications for women in the workforce – over 2 million women have still not returned to the workplace\, many due to the lack of affordable and accessible childcare. The implications of this social and economic issue highlight: (1) the US has a broken care system that has disproportionately affected working families\, especially BIPOC women\, and frontline or deskless workers (2) women\, in particular\, mothers\, tend to bear the brunt of unpaid caregiving responsibilities\, and (3) the economic consequences of this workforce exodus not only affects families and individual households\, but business growth and the U.S. economy suffer overall\, too.  \nIn partnership with American Family Insurance Institute for Corporate and Social Impact\, the Annie E. Casey Foundation\, National Domestic Workers Alliance\, Pivotal Ventures\, and Working for Women\,  the Case for Childcare Collaborative  is committed to explore the business case for supporting working families\, the childcare economy\, and early childhood education. We concluded Phase 1 of our work\, launching a site that shows employers the business benefits of supporting childcare.  In this session\, we officially launch Phase 2 and aim to identify tangible policies & practices employers can implement to further support frontline workers who are parents.  \n  \nThis is the first event in a series.

So\, what everyday actions can steer us towards happiness?” \nJoin us as we discuss how behaviors like embracing creativity\, fostering optimism\, practicing gratitude\, and exhibiting compassion can not only enhance our personal lives but also ripple outwards\, contributing to a broader happiness in our communities. \nEngage with us in a conversation that cuts to the heart of happiness\, as we collectively ask: What is happiness and how do we find it? \n“Happiness is a journey\, not a destination; happiness is to be found along the way\, not at the end of the road\, for then the journey is over and it’s too late.
