From the Bay Area Impact Investing Initiative and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco:
Please join us for The Road to Centerville: Investing in Regional Collective Impact at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (101 Market Street) next Monday, March 16th from 1:00 – 6:00pm, including a networking reception.
Regional collective impact investing represents an enormous opportunity to use the capital markets to address community-based challenges and tap large pools of assets for scaling programs that work. Marshalling these resources for collective impact has historically been difficult, requiring cutting across program and financial silos to connect capital with opportunity. “Centerville,” a fictional representation of a successful place-based collective impact investment approach, is a call for better coordination of both program and financial assets to achieve sustainable regional prosperity. Join local experts from many disciplines at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to discuss this type of long-term regional collective impact investing in the Bay Area and other “Centervilles” across the country.
Conference agenda is below. You can register for “Road to Centerville” here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-road-to-centerville-investing-in-regional-collective-impact-registration-15990929300
