Two area nonprofits collaborate to study key issues
for local African Americans
The
Presidents Council Foundation has joined with PolicyBridge, Cleveland’s think
tank for Northeast Ohio public policy issues of particular interest to African
Americans, to develop research over the next several years relating to urban
education, entrepreneurship and economic development.
A joint
committee comprised of board members from both organizations is working on a
road map to chart the specifics of this work. We will have more to report on
this initiative soon.
