Webinar Goals
• Provide the demographic and economic context that equity is no longer only a moral imperative—it is an economic one that is fundamental to the nation's economic future
• Solicit questions and feedback on equity and economic issues that would benefit from a more focused drill-down at the Toronto Meeting of the Minds session
