The Create Now team had an amazing experience tabling at Valley Industry & Commerce Association (VICA)'s Annual Business Forecast Conference! Networking with business leaders, policymakers, and public officials was invaluable as we continue to drive forward our New Era of Change campaign. Events like this provide crucial opportunities to build relationships and strengthen our connections with key stakeholders who share our vision of empowering underserved youth through the arts. The conversations we had will help shape the future of our programs and open new doors for partnerships and collaborations. As we grow, the support and insights gained from events like this are essential to ensuring we can reach more underserved youth and provide them with the tools they need to thrive. Thank you to VICA for organizing such a dynamic event and to everyone who stopped by our table. We are excited to continue building on these relationships as we push forward with our mission to empower undeserved youth through art education and mentoring. #CreateNowNewEra #ArtsEducation #YouthEmpowerment
