July FOCUS Forum: Community Need and Community Action in Onondaga County

July 1, 2024

Watch Recording!

When: Friday, July 19, 12:05 pm to 1:00 pm

Registration & Location: This online forum will be conducted via Zoom. Registration is free and open to everyone.

Topic: Join us for a FOCUS Forum on People’s Equal Action and Community Effort, Inc. (PEACE, Inc.), its pursuit of Community Action in Onondaga County, and its recently released Community Needs Assessment.

The Federal-Designated Community Action Agency for Onondaga County, PEACE, Inc. was born out of then President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty and pursues a mission “to help people in the community realize their potential for becoming self-sufficient.”

The forum will discuss community action, share findings from PEACE, Inc.’s report, and spur discussion about the necessary steps to ensure everyone within our community can benefit from the potential socioeconomic renewal offered through Micron, the I-81 project, and more.

During this free, virtual FOCUS Forum, a moderated Q&A session will follow the presentation. This will provide you with a chance to ask your questions. Don’t forget we will be taking questions submitted during registration.

You can access the PEACE, Inc.’s Community Needs Assessment here. It is free and all are encouraged to read/use it.

Panelists from PEACE, Inc.

  • Maribel Arce, Director of Grants and Planning
  • Carolyn Brown, Executive Director
  • Todd Goehle, VP of Operations & Strategy
