How do we achieve inclusion and prosperity for all when demographic changes, economic uncertainty, and political polarization drive us apart? How do we develop and strengthen a sense of community and shared fate in this context? What is the role of bold leadership, cross-sector conversation, and movement building in this vision? And how can nonprofits and philanthropic organizations play a role?
Our 2024 Summit's highly-rated keynote speaker Dr. Manuel Pastor joins us again, this time with his colleague Dr. Chris Benner, for a special Pre-Summit Keynote to explore these questions using refreshed data.
Dr. Pastor and Dr. Benner will team up in February as Keynote Speakers during the 2025 SC Nonprofit Summit held in Columbia, where they will dive into the next chapter of this work.
Whether you're registered for the 2025 SC Nonprofit Summit, or just not-yet registered, join this special Pre-Summit Keynote to hear a powerful data-centric metric about how South Carolina's growth is leaving some communities behind.
