The Middle-Class Summit is an opportunity for community leaders to develop innovative answers to issues like the disparities in education, unaffordable housing, rising childcare, and unsustainable increases in healthcare costs facing the middle and underprivileged classes in America, and criminal justice reform. OIC-SFL President and CEO Newton B. Sanon highlights the importance of these issues to all communities.

“Economists warn that our nation is headed for a recession. Many families are already feeling it at the gas pumps, grocery stores, and certainly as they attempt to solidify affordable housing here in South Florida and around the country. Now more than ever, there is a need for elevated and collective leadership to assure that families have a clear path to reconcile their economic mobility and basic needs. The objective of our Summit is to help build, elevate, and sustain a strong middle class. At OIC of South Florida, it’s important that we continue to elevate the voice of the underrepresented, and positively impact communities by fostering timely discussion with key stakeholders to develop strategy and deploy solutions. The issues we’ll discuss at the Summit affect absolutely everyone.”
