States across the Southeast U.S. are focusing on initiatives to increase their inventory of speed-to-market ready land for economic development. Focusing on acquiring and certifying new properties is a key part of this strategy. Often overlooked is the unique advantages that brownfields have to offer as part of this strategy. I am looking forward to presenting, "The Role of Brownfields in Economic Development" as part of the Alabama Brownfields Association's Education Series tomorrow, August 8 from 12 pm-1 pm CDT. #burrforman #economicdevelopment #brownfields #madeinalabama https://lnkd.in/eGddNVyd

Today we launched Underwriting Souls https://lnkd.in/dZan9cBf an independent research collaboration with Black Beyond Data providing insight into Lloyd's role in Trans-Atlantic slavery. This important research was accompanied by Lloyd's Response, the Inclusive Futures Programme supporting black and ethnically diverse talent, businesses, charities and global impact investment. https://lnkd.in/drPTmV6Z Nothing can compensate for the past but we can be deliberate about creating an inclusive future.

Your donation will be matched up to $5000, and you'll impact not just law students' lives but all Americans. #representationmatters #mentoringmatters #civilrights
