PHR Impact Summit
About this Event
20 Years of Transformation. One Collective Future.
For 20 years, Park Heights has been turning a bold community vision into action.
Now, for the first time, the people, partnerships, lessons, and ideas behind that journey are coming together for the inaugural PHR Impact Summit.
This is more than a conference. It’s an opportunity to step inside 20 years of real community transformation to hear the lessons, explore the challenges, connect with the people doing the work, and help shape what comes next.
If you care about stronger communities, economic mobility, affordable housing, opportunities for children and families, collective impact, or investing in lasting change, this is a room you’ll want to be in.

Why This Summit. Why Now.
Twenty years ago, the Park Heights Master Plan captured a shared vision for the future of the community.
What followed was 20 years of progress, challenges, partnerships, lessons, investment, and persistence.
Today, Park Heights Renaissance serves as the Community Quarterback, connecting community priorities with the people and resources needed to keep that vision moving forward.
Now, we’re bringing that journey together in one room.
The history. The lessons. The people. The progress. And the possibilities ahead.
Come ready to learn something new.
Meet someone you wouldn’t have met otherwise.
Leave with ideas you can take back to your own community.
20 years brought us here. What we build together will shape what comes next.
