Companies–with global, national, or regional operations–profoundly influence local economies, shape employment trends, the small business ecosystem, real estate prices, and education trends. Leading corporations are redefining their role as local change agents through strategic, place-based approaches that go beyond traditional philanthropy. Join us for an engaging and interactive discussion featuring leaders from 3M, Prudential Financial, and Verizon who will share how they are leveraging their full range of business assets to drive meaningful local impact in place. Together, we’ll explore different archetypes for corporate local social impact and equip you with practical examples and lessons learned from co-developing solutions with communities, deploying resources beyond grantmaking, and building authentic trust that drives both business value and community prosperity.

• Sarah Keh, Vice President, Inclusive Solutions, Prudential Financial

• Michelle Liberatore, Senior Program Manager, Corporate Social Responsibility, Verizon

• Michael Stroik, Vice President of 3M Community Impact, 3M
