More than 100 civic and clergy leaders from the City of Riverside gathered for “Partners in Community: Working Together in Difficult Economic Times – A Dialogue for Clergy and Civic Leaders” in 2009. In addition to a roundtable discussion, the city invited ten public and private agencies to the event to present information about the resources each organization could offer, especially those that would be beneficial during the economic recessionary times.

Each of the highlighted agencies had an informational booth set up in an exhibit room; they also made a brief presentation.
