Join us for an insightful online workshop featuring Bernice Radle, a visionary leader from Buffalo, New York. Bernice is building a small-scale development movement and transforming communities by employing the Strong Towns principles of incremental development, flexible housing, small bets and step-by-step improvements. As the president of Neighborhood Evolution, a consulting firm dedicated to fostering small development ecosystems, and the founder of a development firm that renovates historic buildings, she brings a wealth of experience and passion to her work.

Hosted by Norm Van Eeden Petersman, director of Movement Building at Strong Towns, this workshop offers live conversations and plenty of chances for attendees to engage and have their questions answered. Meet the unsung heroes of the Strong Towns movement and be inspired to make a difference in your own community!
