The second annual Midwest Building Decarbonization Coalition Equity Summit took place on November 2nd – 4th, 2022. Keep an eye out for next year’s gathering, and learn about our 2022 speakers and sessions below! We also have a link to our YouTube channel where you can view some of the recorded plenary sessions.

This year’s theme centered the second principle of Kwanzaa — Kujichagulia (Self-Determination). We explored how we empower communities and collectively move forward in the Building Decarbonization Movement. The three-day summit will uplifted multiple sessions on topics ranging from regulatory engagement to reparations and the land back movement.

In an effort to make the Summit more accessible, we hosted all of the sessions virtually on Zoom and there was no cost to attend.

We would like to recognize the 2022 Equity Summit Planning Committee: Hillary Thomas, Huda Alkaff, Ian Tran, Rachel Dortin, Dr. J.B. Pressey, Tamara Toles O’Laughlin, Chad Stephens, Dr. Frederick Forde, Robin Lisowski, Jamie Simmons, Bishop Marcia Dinkins, DeAngelus Garcia Bey, and Gregory Norris.

Thank you for all your hard work bringing in this exciting lineup of speakers and sessions!
