Home About Community Learning Action
Community

The more companies recognize the business case for community involvement - and the more community organizations know how to capitalize on the business case for community involvement - the better we'll be able to improve the lives of the people who rely on your vital services.

2008 Gathering

Since the first Gathering in 2005, participants have had an opportunity to learn from a remarkable set of leaders.

Each year, the planning team solicits ideas from an advisory board and participants for speakers to invite. The objective is to identify trailblazers—leaders from business, philanthropy, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector—who are charting new paths and are willing to share their experiences and lessons learned as they break new ground.
