Join us for an in-person discussion with William J. and Alicia Townsend Friedman Professor Christopher Berry and Research Professor Justin Marlowe for an opportunity to learn more about the work of the Center for Municipal Finance.

This event will feature a panel discussion with Chris Berry, Professor and Academic Director of the Harris School's Center for Municipal Finance, and Justin Marlowe, Research Professor and the Center's Associate Director. They will present findings from their research on how Chicago and many other localities are incorporating sustainability and equity into crucial decisions about collecting taxes, spending money, and planning for their financial futures. Opening remarks and faculty introductions by Julie Reschke, AM'22.
