NC Policy Watch and the NC Justice Center invite you to a very special Crucial Conversation Luncheon featuring nationally recognized economist, author, and commentator

Dr. Heather Boushey of the Washington, DC-based Center for American Progress.

"Valuing families at work: Policy prescriptions for the 21^st Century" 

Heather Boushey is Senior Economist at the Center for American Progress. Her research focuses on employment, social policy, and family economic well-being. Much of her current work focuses on the Great Recession's impact on workers and their families, as well as policies to promote job creation. She co-edited The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Changes Everything (Simon & Schuster ebook, 2009) and was a lead author of "Bridging the Gaps," a 10-state study about how low- and -moderate-income working families are left out of work support programs. Her research has been published in academic journals and has been covered in The Washington Post, Newsweek, and a variety of other media outlets, including The New York Times, where she was called one of the "most vibrant voices in the field."

Dr. Boushey will share her thoughts on the actions that state and national policymakers can take to help the country adapt to the needs of today's working economy.
