Opening Session Live (part 3)
More of Brian's keynote....
The social contract has changed. The givens have changed. As I listen to Brian talk about EITC and other fiancial stability issues, I am reminded that we are an organization focused on the issues that make America what it is. Big issues. Issues the government grapples with. Schools wrestle with them. Families struggle with them. We're talking about the very fabric of our communitites. What a big job! And what a great position we are in to become/be the leaders. The Financial Stability Partnership is UW's response, but is still in early stages.
Brian shared a story of a woman in San Antonio who has struggled her way to financial stability. It always helps to put a real face on the issues.
It's not just about human services. It's about changing systems.
