Changing Demographics in DuPage County Seminar

Both nationally and locally, suburban communities are experiencing growth and change. In particular, trends emphasize a growing low-income population, greater ethnic and racial diversity, and a changing and maturing economy. At the same time, resources are in shorter supply and the legacy of sending resources to the city of Chicago has created an imbalance because the growth in need has shifted to the suburbs.

Amy Snodgrass, from the DuPage Federation, will present up-to-date information and statistics on DuPage demographic trends and statistics, why suburban communities are particularly challenged in addressing these local issues, and what we can do.

Please join us on Tuesday, November 19, at 7:00 p.m. in the Chapel to hear more about this important issue. Light refreshments will be served.
