SUMMARY:THINC30 Tank: Ensuring Inclusive Pittsburgh Neighborhoods
DESCRIPTION:Lend your voice and insights to help create a tool that can be used to regularly check up on the health of Pittsburgh’s 90 unique neighborhoods at our first 2019 THINC30 Tank: Ensuring Inclusive Pittsburgh Neighborhoods. \nOver the last two years\, Pittsburgh’s business\, civic and community leaders have joined us at our THINC30 summits to learn how they may help advance the 17 global UN Sustainable Development Goals here locally and create a thriving\, robust region for everyone. \nLast year\, alone\, more than 500 registered to learn more about tackling some of our most pressing sustainability issues\, such as the school-to-prison pipeline\, air quality\, and the environment\, generational poverty\, and neighborhood gentrification and displacement\, among others. \nOne thing made obvious from these past summits is the real need for more in-depth\, focused discussion around certain issues. \nSo\, in 2019\, we’ll be hosting three smaller summits – events we’re calling THINC30 Tanks. This one is our first.

SUMMARY:Circle Economy for Communities: Coffee with Andre Struker
DESCRIPTION:This event is free\, but we ask that you REGISTER to attend.\nThe circular economy is about closing resource loops\, mimicking natural ecosystems in the way we organize our society and businesses. Andre Struker\, Strategic Advisor to Amsterdam’s water utility Waternet\, is coming to Pittsburgh to share his expertise on how the facility’s energy-from-waste ecosystem fits within the overall circular economy strategy in Amsterdam and how the utility is “mining for energy” in its goal to become climate neutral by 2020. \nThe circular economy can be applied to help communities minimize waste\, maximize value creation\, and generate new opportunity for prosperity. GTECH is hosting coffee with Andre Struker to explore how these innovative principles can be applied locally with businesses\, community-based organizations and active citizens. During the coffee participants will have the opportunity to hear a presentation from Struker to dig deeper into the model and ask him questions to consider challenges and possible applications locally. \nThank you to our venue and coffee sponsors:

SUMMARY:Community Leader Mixer
DESCRIPTION:Are you a community Leader or aspiring to be one? Join us for food\, conversation\, and a panel discussion on opportunities for leadership and employment in the Northside. If you haven’t RSVPed yet\, you can do so by clicking here. \nContext\nGTECH is currently running the ReClaim Northside program. Through this program\, we’ve trained 14 Northside residents on tactics for reclaiming vacant lots in their neighborhoods. Much of what this program focuses on is giving residents the information and skills they need to become a community leader. What we’ve realized is that many of these skills (connecting\, public speaking\, organizing\, etc.) are also relevant to employment. So\, we’d like to dig a little deeper and learn what barriers and opportunities exist for community leadership and employment in the Northside. \nThe Panelists\nLisa Freeman\n \nLisa Freeman began the Pittsburgh Struggling Student Association in 2013 to help improve the quality of education at Manchester Elementary School that her children were attending. She has been a previous GTECH ambassador for the North Side\, as well as\, continuing to intersect her passion for gardening and education through the Mud\, Math\, & More! summer  math  camp  for  struggling  learners  at  Pittsburgh  Manchester  K-­‐8\,  one  of  several  Northside  schools  that  has  been  ranked  among  the   bottom  15%  of  schools  statewide  by  the  PDE.   Ms. Freeman’s long term success and interest for connecting neighbors to resources has made her a long-standing community leader in the Northside. \nDillon Moore\nDillon Moore joined the staff at Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board (3RWIB) in May 2014. Much of his work involves building an understanding of the regional labor market\, workforce development system\, and the public policy issues that surround these topics. Dillon also helps manage data analysis and program evaluation efforts of 3RWIB. In the past year\, 3RWIB completed a comprehensive study of issues and opportunities for employment on the Northside. Dillon has held previous positions in research at the University of Pittsburgh’s Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership and Center for Metropolitan Studies. He also has experience in research abroad in East and Southern Africa. Dillon has a bachelor’s degree in Geography from West Virginia University and a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. \nEbony Harris\nEbony Harris is a long-time resident of the Northside and began LEVELS Coaching for Empowerment and Purpose in 2014.  She received  a Neighbor-to-Neighbor grant for a  quality  of  employment  project  that challenges participants  to  delve  deeper  into  the  overall  vision  of  their   lives.   Her workshops   focus  on   entrepreneurial  journeys  and  self-­‐investment to reach  and  sustain  self-­sufficiency\,   accomplishing  goals  such  as  homeownership\,  entrepreneurship\,  and  making  career  advancements. Ms. Harris was inspired to reach others through empowerment and purpose with positive life skills\, including her campaign #PMP2015 – Create-Engage-Transform!\, as well as\, infusing her love of beauty by organizing collaborative fashion shows in the area.
