Addressing the Elephant in the Room – A Corporate Foundation convening series to discuss key unspoken challenges in a safe space
April 17 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm BST
Following our online roundtable event in October 2022, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Corporate Foundations Series entitled: ‘Addressing the elephant in the room’.
Hosted by Business for Societal Impact (B4SI) and SLR Consulting, this series presents a unique opportunity for European based Corporate Foundations to come together and discuss key issues and common challenges—while leaving the space for fresh ideas, practical support and new opportunities to develop.
Each convening within the series will aim to tackle one of these key issues (elephant in the room) addressed at the October Roundtable event.
