Join Us April 16 to Look Forward After the L.A. Fires
The seventh annual UCLA Luskin Summit will focus on the rebuilding and recovery of the Los Angeles region following the devastation caused by the wildfires in January 2025. This event is intended to provide policymakers and non-profit leaders with the latest research and guidance from UCLA Luskin experts, community groups, and government agencies to guide the effort to expedite recovery equitably.
The UCLA Luskin Summit is not just about recovery; we want to share the expertise and experience of leaders in Los Angeles and researchers at UCLA so we can restore communities and make them more resilient than before.
