Inland Empire Vital Conditions Network

Engagement Workgroup Meeting
2025-10-15 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The Engagement Workgroup strengthens relationships and shared learning across the region. We connect partners through gatherings, storytelling, and peer learning that help ideas spread and deepen a culture of belonging and collaboration. Together, we’re building spaces—virtual and in-person—where every voice can contribute, learn, and take action toward thriving people and places.
We meet monthly for one hour on the third Wednesday of the month, and everyone is welcome to join the conversation.

She Counts: A Data-Driven Conversation about IE Women's Well-Being
2025-06-03 12:00 - 13:30
Be the first to dive into new data on women’s well-being in the Inland Empire! Join us as we unveil the full results of an original survey of women in the IE and explore how their well-being compares nationally and globally, how experiences differ across counties, and what it truly means to be thriving, struggling, or suffering here. A dynamic panel of experts from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors, along with UCR researchers, will bring these findings to life, offering insights related to lifelong learning, belonging & civic muscle, meaningful work & wealth, and humane housing — vital conditions that shape opportunity and quality of life. Beyond the data, this is a chance to connect. Network with local leaders, changemakers, and peers who are passionate about advancing well-being in the IE. Enjoy a complimentary lunch and parking, and engage in lively discussion as we come together to build a thriving IE. Parking and lunch will be provided. Registration required and space is limited.
