Possibility Day Reflections: Economy, LT'23

At our Economy Possibility Day, Cohort members shared their economic journeys and grappled with the underlying question: what might an economy look like in a region where people from all communities and identities thrive? We continued to explore the interconnections among each of our Possibility Day topics, for example, how the economy relates to environmental issues, housing and homelessness, and other shared challenges and opportunities in our region. Many thanks to BECU for their sponsorship of this day!

Possibility Day Reflections: Health & Wellbeing, LT'23

We held our second Possibility Day (formerly known as Challenge Days) of the LT'23 year. New this year, we are experimenting with a shift in language from “Challenge” Days to “Possibility” Days. This reframing is in response to LT’23 cohort members' request to focus on solutions and LT’s continued evolution toward asset-based approaches to regional issues. Check out our write-up for resources from the day and reflections from three LT’23 class members. Many thanks to Virginia Mason Franciscan Health for their sponsorship of this day!
