The 2024 BEA Solutions Summit
The Black Economic Alliance’s 2024 Solutions Summit made clear that we can make meaningful progress in advancing Black work, wages, and wealth in years, not generations – if we get the solutions right. BEA’s second Solutions Summit brought together an unprecedented group of leaders from across the public, private, and social sectors to do just that. Featured speakers including Harvard University Professor of Economics and Director of Opportunity Insights Raj Chetty; Apple Vice President, of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives Lisa Jackson; 82nd U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder; and, Chief Executive Officer and President, Wells Fargo & Company Charles Scharf discussed concrete steps leaders can take to move us towards the north star where economic opportunity is the norm, not the exception, in the Black community.
