As our region looks to recover and rebuild from COVID-19, CivicAction brought together leaders from across sectors, generations, backgrounds and experiences to create a collective approach to recovery that instills trust, generates practical ideas and builds a commitment to take action. In June 2020, CivicAction brought together 300 civic leaders together for the Re:Action Forum, a virtual gathering to shape our region’s collective reaction to COVID-19.

The Forum focused on three interconnected opportunities: helping young adults enter or re-enter the workforce; supporting mental wellbeing and combating loneliness; and building and maintaining trust in our communities and leaders.
