This session will move beyond trends and data to use Philadelphia examples to explore systemic issues such as ineffective corporate controls, the limits of philanthropy, and inadequate Board governance. Understanding the societal and sectoral dynamics reinforcing these cycles of crisis can anchor a shift toward positive change for a sector entrusted with some of the most pressing community missions and responsible for one in ten American paychecks.
