Commitment to Community We are kicking off the MACRO Matters conference by demonstrating our support of local community service providers and policy practitioners. Join us for breakfast at the Delmar DevINe, the first collaborative space dedicated to maximizing the human and financial capital of St. Louis’ social initiatives and institutions. You’ll receive a tour of the new facility from founder Maxine Clark, who also happens to be the founder and former CEO of Build-a-Bear. After the tour, you'll hear from a panel of local providers and advocates on the challenges of pushing forward progressive policies in a conservative state that promote social justice and equity. We organized this site visit in response to feedback from previous conference attendees who requested opportunities to connect with the local community.
