DISCUSSION ITEM: The Future of Economic Health and Community Wealth Building 4:45-5:45pm Facilitated by Melanie Potyondy Speaker: Neil McInroy, Global Lead for Community Wealth Building at The Democracy Collaborative. Community Wealth Building (CWB) is an economic development model that transforms local economies based on communities having direct ownership and control of their assets. It challenges the failing approaches that have been widely accepted in American economic development and addresses wealth inequality at its core. First articulated by The Democracy Collaborative (TDC) in 2005, CWB takes progressive elements like community land trusts, worker cooperatives, public banking, and more – elements that have previously only existed as one-offs – and supercharges their power, systemically connecting and scaling them to change people’s lives and the economic future of our communities. It does so in coordination with local governments, economic development teams, anchor institutions, and community leaders and organizations: helping them to work in harmony, identify what elements are needed, and see the big picture as they replicate successful new tactics.
