Thursday, 3 October 2024 - 10:00am
With an introduction from Maryland’s Lt. Governor Aruna Miller, this webinar explores the many benefits of walking, from the individual health benefits to much broader public policy impacts that individual and collective decision making have on individual and community-wide health, quality of life, equity and connectivity.
Speakers will explore the inter-connected nature of these issues locally and nationally. Sarah Lock, Senior Vice President for Policy and Brain Health from AARP will explore walking’s health benefits, while Veronica Davis, author of Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities, will focus on transportation equity and community health.
