Social Equity Investment Project

We are looking for people from the entire community to get involved in leadership development, volunteering (your time, expertise and knowledge), financial development, community discussion groups, leverage influence and connect with networks. We have a Social Equity Advisory Committee, composed of  inclusive representative leadership from the greater Burlington community.

Sustainable Communities are Equitable Communities

If we want to build sustainable communities, we must work to build equitable communities. Sustainable communities depend on the wise use of a variety of resources (including people’s talents and energy).

We can only accomplish our goals by involving community members who are leaders in the community and come from different backgrounds and posses different talents. You probably know someone from your neighborhood who would make a good leader (it could be you), and we need their involvement.

We All Want the Same Things…

A job that pays the bills and gives us economic stability, an education that gives us and our children a chance to succeed, a home we can afford, an opportunity to engage in making our neighborhood and our city a better place to live…these are the things that we all want.

As our community grows and adds members from many different backgrounds, we need to embrace the underutilized resources of all our City’s residents, including our newest residents.

Our diversity is our strength when we work together toward a common goal.
We all contribute, and take pride in looking back to valued traditions, and forward to shaping a shared and preferred future.

Whats happening? Past and Present, Old and New…an informative and engaging  look at Burlington’s Valued and Preferred Future... CLICK BELOW:
