Corporate social impact leaders spend their careers managing up, making the case to boards, CEOs, and founders that this work matters, and defending it through leadership changes, budget cuts, and shifting politics. This luncheon will offer attendees the opportunity to learn from experienced executives on successful strategies that got skeptical leadership on board and kept missions intact through crises, and how to look ahead to what this work demands next. Attendees will leave with a sharper read on where the field is headed, plus a chance to trade notes with peers in table talks after the fireside chat.
