Gulf Coast REAP Summit 2011
The IBIS Community Development Corporation and the Escambia-Pensacola Human Relations Commission present the Gulf Coast REAP Summit 2011. The Summit will serve as a regional gathering of policy makers, federal and state governmental officials, foundations, chambers of commerce and other business leaders, faith-based and neighborhood partners to create a new model of public/private partnerships that generate sustainable economic development in communities from Texas to Florida that have been impacted by hurricanes Ivan and Katrina, the BP Oil Spill and the economic downturn.
The attendee driven consensus-built regional action plan and implementation strategy that emerges will feature multiple local sites to forge coalitions in housing, education, health, technology and the environment to address the needs of residents in the region.
