Why Economic Mobility in Underserved Communities is Good for Society and Business

The inspirational and operational takeaways filled a *second* book – the first was filled by Scott and Nick Tedesco, President and CEO of the National Center for Family Philanthropy, during our first fireside chat on March 17.

It’s an unfortunate fact that many underserved and underrepresented communities are still struggling to forge the relationships that open the access and opportunities to meaningful community and economic resources. Tony, Scott, and I discussed how economic mobility and wealth-building programs strengthen these communities by increasing economic growth and fostering a more diverse workforce.
