Danville Regional Foundation Speaker Series
Date: March 6, 2012
Time: 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Event Description
Danville Regional Foundation and the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce present
Majora Carter
Majora Carter is a visionary voice in city planning who views urban renewal through an environmental lens. The South Bronx native draws a direct connection between ecological, economic and social degradation. With her inspired ideas and fierce persistence, the MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship recipient endeavored to bring the South Bronx its first open-waterfront park in 60 years - Hunts Point Riverside Park.
The speaker series began in 2009 to bring innovative thinkers to the Dan River Region as part of the foundation's efforts to transform the region. The idea is attendees take the speakers' message home, where the spark grows and encourages them to create positive change.
