Community of Practice Virtual Meeting: Disruptive Innovation a Promising Practices Panel
2026-03-10 12:45 - 14:00 | GA
Join us virtually on March 10, 2026, for an inspiring panel moderated by Michelle Marcus during the Georgia Thrives Together’s March Meeting titled: “Disruptive Innovation: Using Good Trouble to Transform Systems for Community Wellbeing.”
Disruptive innovation for community wellbeing encompasses practices, systemic changes, technologies, or business models which serve unmet social needs, meet those needs more efficiently and effectively than predominant practices and policies, and which could be effective at a larger scale although they are initially prevented from scaling up due to regulatory or fiscal limitations. Despite their potential to solve persistent social problems, disruptive innovations often fail to attract investment because they challenge conventional business models, beliefs, power structures, and organizational practices. The Disruptive Innovation panel will allow attendees to hear from professionals who are exploring new approaches to longstanding problems, redefining funding strategies, and developing innovative ways to show and communicate impact.
Panelists: Odetta MacLeish-White, AB, JD, LLM Business and Fund Development Director of Bay Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative; Tony Price, DrPH, MS, Price Point Consulting LLC; and Belisa Urbina, Chief Executive Officer, Ser Familia.

Join a two-day convening where partners from across Georgia build community, strengthen capacity, and engage in meaningful experiences that move shared goals into collective action.
This interactive annual meeting is designed as a full experience, bringing together leaders, practitioners, and partners from across sectors to reflect on progress, share real-world insights, and build the skills needed to move work forward. Through a mix of panel discussions, storytelling, and hands-on breakout sessions, participants will deepen their ability to communicate impact, explore strategies for funding and sustainability, and strengthen connections that extend beyond the convening.

Across the two days, the experience builds intentionally, from celebrating collective achievements and learning from one another, to developing practical tools and strategies, to identifying clear pathways for continued collaboration and action.
As part of the broader convening, participants will engage in a dynamic, interactive session that brings the Georgia Thrives Together Playbook to life; offering a unique opportunity to explore its strategies, connect across roles, and consider how to contribute to ongoing implementation efforts.
This convening is designed for those ready to engage fully, connecting across perspectives, building capacity, and leaving with a renewed sense of clarity, connection, and momentum for what comes next.
