BUILDING COMMUNITY POWER SUMMIT

The Coalition4Justice team was well represented at the Building Community Power Summit held at the Normandy Farm in Blue Bell on September 20, 2024. Over a hundred community leaders and their organization members from several Montgomery County non-profit organizations and community network attended the event hosted by the Health Spark Foundation, Colmar, PA.


 Health Sparks Foundation organized the Summit with several intents, including:

  • To celebrate Montgomery County’s existing community power, its ongoing journey to harness and tap into that power,

  • To look ahead to the future opportunities rooted in the existing community power


The Summit provided younger and older attendees the opportunities to connect, learn from each other, inspire, affirm their work in the community, and build sustainable relationships with the goal of consequently building community power up to scale. In attendance were Dr. Bernadine Ahonkhai, Founder and CEO, Coalition4Justice along with three members of the Coalition, Mr. Kiran Padgaonkar (Coalition4Justice Board Member), Sally Moore (Coalition Steering Committee and Co-Lead of the Media Sub-Committee), and Mohana Padgaonkar (Coalition4Justice Steering Committee member).
