Resilience is about how we invest in strengthening people and communities to transcend chronic challenges and urgent crises. Together, we will break down silos across regions, sectors, and the issues we fund. We will identify opportunities to lead real change through our own work and collaboratively for our region, our state, and our world. I m also thrilled to share that we will be joined by visionaries who recognize the power of philanthropy to create fundamental change in our communities. You ll hear from journalist and entrepreneur Arianna Huffington, SCG member Dr. Phil McGraw, and Dr. David Erickson, Director of the Center for Community Development Investment at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, among others. Many more speakers will be announced in the coming weeks! Most of all, the conference will feature YOU.
