Themed “Engaging Neighbors-Empowering Community,” it will take place on the campus of IU South Bend beginning at 9:00 a.m. in the Administration Building, 1700 E. Mishawaka Avenue.

The featured keynote speaker is Majora Carter, a nationally renowned urban strategist and urban environmental and economic justice advocate.

The summit, designed to support and celebrate neighborhood involvement, will include: community awards, open forum discussions, and roundtable break-outs covering a variety of community development topics.
