Miami Dade Economic Advocacy Trust
"Transformation 305 Listening Tour"
William "Bill" Diggs
Executive Director
Greetings,
The legacies of noted business tycoon D.A. Dorsey, entrepreneur M. Athalie Range, and insurance salesman Arthur McDuffie reflect an undeniable truth: One voice can transform a community. As executive director, I invite you to elevate your voice to help the Miami-Dade Economic Advocacy Trust (MDEAT) transform our community by participating in our upcoming Disparity Study. Your first step begins by participating in this survey. The agency is hosting a Transformation Listening Tour that includes a series of virtual and in-person focus groups in the coming weeks.
Empowered by the County charter, MDEAT ensures the equitable participation of Blacks in Miami-Dade County's economic growth through advocacy and monitoring of economic conditions and economic development initiatives. Every ten years, the agency conducts a disparity study to evaluate conditions and hear from residents throughout the targeted urban areas.
Your in-person attendance and/or virtual presence gives us specific accounts and suggestions that will shape our decisions to advocate and develop priorities. Your participation gives us the evidence to provide the best solutions because they came from YOU!!! Your voice matters.
These surveys cover areas of economic concern. We value your time, so this survey is short and to the point. Please take a few minutes and provide your input.
Thank you for joining us in the noble work of creating the future we deserve. . ("click" here for survey).
