Public Lecture: A Minnesota Without Poverty — Working Toward Enough for All

DULUTH, MN — On Thursday, November 6 from 6–8 pm, the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Center for Ethics and Public Policy is sponsoring a lecture by Rev. Nancy E. Maeker on poverty in Minnesota and the efforts to eradicate it. The event will take place at UMD’s Labovitz School of Business & Economics, Room 118.

This event is free and open to the public.

Rev. Nancy E. Maeker is the former executive director (retired) of A Minnesota Without Poverty (AMWP), a statewide movement to end poverty in Minnesota by 2020. Her work with AMWP focused on convening and leading a collaborative process to implement the recommendations of the Legislative Commission to End Poverty in Minnesota, and to build the public and political will to end poverty. Previously, she served as Dean of Students at Luther Seminary (1991–2000), Pastor for Community Ministries at Central Lutheran Church, Minneapolis (2000–2002), and Bishop’s Associate in the Saint Paul Area Synod-ELCA (2002–2008). She has degrees from Texas Lutheran University (BA), Wartburg Seminary (MDiv), University of Texas at Austin (MMus), and Luther Seminary (DMin). She is the co-author of Ending Poverty: A 20/20 Vision (2006).
