ECONOMIC INCLUSION
CONFERENCE AT COPPIN
(EICAC) 2023
All resources necessary for growth and sustainability have their genesis in material, informational, and relational systems. The channels through which resources are exchanged require innovative strategies to facilitate local, regional, national, and global economic growth. The complexities of Maryland’s economic networks are a microcosm of the nation. Our state relies on fluent collaboration between dissimilar but equally important parts (e.g., rural and urban, public and private, community and institutional, underserved and heavily resourced). The economic success of the state and region will be determined by our ability to broaden access to opportunities and sustain inclusive success.
