As an Inclusive Economic Development Advisor at New Growth Innovation Network (NGIN), alongside my colleague Dr. Mari Kate Mycek, sought to deepen our knowledge and understanding of Inclusive Economic Development by launching and facilitating an organization-wide book club. On a quarterly basis, we host discussions to dive into and discuss various books, podcasts, articles, films, and other content related to inclusive economic development and understand them in the context of the work we do. To share these discussions and insights with our broader network, we author a blog post of the team’s thoughts and develop an NGIN discussion guide that any communities can use to start these conversations in their community. Download our first discussion guide and read the accompanying blog post, or view the NGIN blog for more installments.
New Growth Innovation Network (NGIN) is a national nonprofit focused on advancing inclusive economic development to ensure that economically disenfranchised individuals and communities can lead, shape and benefit from regional economic growth and prosperity.
