Amplifying Community Voices: The Crucial Role of SPA-Based Subregional Tables in Regional Economic Development

Ninety SPA-based Subregional Tables are being funded at ten thousand each to ensure comprehensive coverage across the nine Service Planning Areas, with ten grantees representing each area. This approach fosters regional diversity and a wide range of perspectives, contributing to an effective and inclusive planning process. By conducting outreach, engaging, and gathering data from constituents in local service planning areas, the Subregional Table Leads ensure that community lived experience is factored into the LA HRTC planning process.

The Subregional Table Leads promote local participation in the planning process and work to engage community members in both the outreach and planning phases of the LA HRTC initiative. Subregional Table Leads share research findings to promote LA HRTC activities and engage local stakeholders to participate in the LA HRTC geographic and racial planning forums event and data collection process. In the dynamic landscape of regional economic development in Los Angeles County, the Subregional Table Leads have been strategically assigned specific thematic areas within each Service Planning Area (SPA).
