Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta: Connecting Communities – Approaches to and Lessons Learned from Community-Engaged Research

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta is hosting a webinar on Connecting Communities: Approaches to and Lessons Learned from Community-Engaged Research on Thursday, August 8^th, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Conversations with the community make a difference. Community development practitioners and policymakers recognize the value of conducting research with communities as partners through community-engaged research. This approach invites stakeholders into the research process by centering their perspectives and elevating their expertise. These discussions help to create better services, understand policy barriers, and learn what’s working best. This webinar will feature examples of how community-engaged methods can highlight the experience of jobseekers and workers. Attendees will hear what researchers are learning from these conversations and how institutions, organizations, or communities can leverage the same principles. This virtual event will feature two speakers from the Atlanta Fed: Sarah Miller, principal adviser, community and economic development, and Paula Tkac, executive vice president and director of research.
