In January 2018, Welcoming America launched the \u0026ldquo;One Region Initiative\u0026rdquo; to cultivate a concept of \u0026ldquo;welcoming\u0026nbsp;region\u0026rdquo; to transcend municipal boundaries. The pilot initiative took place in the Atlanta metropolitan area, a major emerging immigrant gateway, and\u0026nbsp;involved community listening sessions and a 56-member steering committee, representing the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. The One Region\u0026nbsp;Initiative disseminated recommendations to the public in a regional strategic welcoming plan in August 2018. The purpose of this paper is to examine One Region member municipalities\u0026rsquo; implementation of the recommendations\u0026nbsp;between 2019 and 2021 amid the broader multi-scalar context of changing geographies of immigrant settlement and immigration policy. We do so from\u0026nbsp;a community-based participatory research framework, through participant observation as One Region steering committee members, and applied\u0026nbsp;researchers who have been engaged in immigrant integration work in the\u0026nbsp;Atlanta metro area and throughout the country for over a decade.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E***\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/atlantaglobalstudies.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EAtlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is proud to lead these efforts and house the multi-institutional consortia,\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/atlantaglobalstudies.gatech.edu\/AGREC\u0022\u003EAtlanta Global Research \u0026amp; Education Collaborative (AGREC)\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPlease see below for further details\u0026nbsp;about AGREC and upcoming presentations.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E***\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EUPCOMING AGREC PRESENTATIONS\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFri, November 5 | 11 am - 12 pm EST\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EThe Global Communities Internship Program\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/atlantaglobalstudies.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-10\/AGREC_Nov5-2021_0.pdf\u0022\u003EFlyer including abstract [PDF]\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EPhilip Ojo, Professor of French, Agnes Scott College\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EAmber McCorkle, Education and Programs Director, Clarkston Community Center\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EJongdae Kim, Co-Founder and ED, Re\u0026#39;Generation Movement\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EMonty Whitney, Director, Bonner Office of Community Service, Morehouse College\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EJohannes Kleiner, Associate Director, Civic Engagement, Emory University\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ERuthie Yow, Service Learning \u0026amp; Partnerships Specialist, Serve-Learn-Sustain, Georgia Tech\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nWed, November 10 |\u0026nbsp; 12\u0026nbsp; - 1 pm EST\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EAtlanta-area migrant communities and climate change: characterizing drivers of migration, exposure risks, and health vulnerabilities\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/atlantaglobalstudies.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-10\/AGREC_Nov10-2021_0.pdf\u0022\u003EFlyer including abstract [PDF]\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ECassandra White, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Georgia State University\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ERebecca P.
