120 people committed an immense amount of time this week to meaningfully discuss how to address poverty. These were people in our community who are key leaders in many areas and everyone put their biases aside and authentically engaged in a weighty issue. I was inspired by those with lived experiences in poverty who had the courage to engage in the summit and share their stories - wow. Amazing. A quote sticks with me form the summit, This is a niche game, not a macro game. There is no such thing as poverty. There are just 100 reasons why people are poor... now the hard work begins - turning that summit into action. If this can be done anywhere - it can be done right here in Des Moines! Lets do this!! - Mary Sellers, CEO United Way of Central Iowa
