What is the T.H.R.I.V.E. Summit?
Building upon the momentum of the 2023 Racial Equity Summit, the Sac County T.H.R.I.V.E. Summit is a biennial event rooted in the County's core purpose “Enriching Communities to Thrive" where we engage residents, community leaders, and organizations serving our most vulnerable communities to recast our vision for advancing racial equity; acknowledge past harms and recognize what is needed to repair; highlight progress and the work that must continue; and recommit with intention through the following tenets:
- T – transparency and trust building
- H – hearing and honoring all perspectives
- R - respect
- I – innovating equity
- V – valuing diversity and inclusion
- E – empowering allies, advocates, and accomplices
This year's theme is “Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges". Because community-based organizations (CBO) are the backbone for delivering much needed support and services to improve the social health and well-being of our residents and are often boots-on-the ground, in times of crisis, responding to the needs of our most vulnerable communities the Community Engagement Mixer will serve as an opportunity for CBOs to showcase the services they provide and network to create synergistic opportunities with other CBOs and County Departments.

#IThriveWhen Campaign
The #IThriveWhen campaign is an important aspect of the 2025 T.H.R.I.V.E. Summit & Community Engagement Mixer because we get to hear from you. Check out our AudioBook station at the event to share 30 second voice recording explaining what you need to flourish, grow in every area of life (mentally, physically, spiritually), and experience a state of well-being, and good success. Consider what this may look like for you personally and/or professionally.
As a part of this campaign, your recorded testimonials could be featured on County social media, as well as at the T.H.R.I.V.E. Summit event. Your transparency and candor regarding the environment and conditions that need to be true to enable you to thrive will be used over time to help inform county initiatives, resource allocation, policy development, etc. The inspiration for this campaign is to encourage authentic, personal stories that amplify the voices, diverse needs and aspirations of the people who live, work, and play in the County of Sacramento.
