**About the Revised Roadmap **
The Central Providence Roadmap, released in 2023, serves as a vital framework for our collective work.  However, since its release, significant developments have prompted us to update the Roadmap to better reflect the current realities and challenges facing our community. This updated document more explicitly centers racial equity and community leadership in the work we do. Additionally, we have expanded our processes, updated outcomes and strategies, and included key accomplishments and lessons learned from our work. We are excited to share this with you! 

**About the Brand Identity Launch **
We are thrilled to introduce a fresh new identity for Central Providence Opportunities: A Health Equity Zone! This event will mark the launch of our new brand identity, including a new name, redesigned logo, and a new website—all designed to better reflect the vibrant spirit and evolution of our work. Don’t worry, you won’t walk away empty-handed; there will be plenty of swag to take home!
