This closed-door, business-only session provides you with a unique opportunity to bond with peers and pick up success strategies for blending purpose and profit.

Moderated by EFG President David Hessekiel, this highly interactive session emphasizes group discussions and problem solving. Session highlights will include:

Employee Engagement — Increasingly important on most company priority lists, creating effective programs that attract participation, build morale and make a difference is tough work. Boston Beer Company’s Risa Sherman offers insights based on her company’s journey.

Making the Business Case — One of the common, unspoken secrets in our field is how difficult it can be to get C-suite leaders to attach solid business goals to social initiatives. Rodan & Fields’ Kari Hayden Pendoley helps us tackle the issue of getting the buy-in to create truly sustainable programs.

What’s Your Issue? — Based on a pre-conference survey of summit participants, we’ll reveal the hot topics and break into interest groups for frank, constructive discussions led by Reingold's Pat Nicklin.
