“So insightful to be in a room filled with change ambassadors coming from a diverse array of organizations!” said Caeley Kane, Capital Area Food Bank.

“All of the panels, speakers and staff shared such valuable information that I will implement. Some key takeaways I valued most included ways to engage employees, measure results, and showcase how partnering with my organization not only addresses branding but also aligns with corporate business strategies,” said Debi Alexander, PHILLIPS Programs.
