The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation and the Institute for Leadership and Social Impact presents the first Impact Lunchtime Talk of the Fall featuring Tené Traylor, vice president for nonprofits and philanthropy at the Urban Institute. Lunch is provided with registration.
Tené Traylor is Vice President and Senior Fellow at The Urban Institute, leading the Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy. CNP amplifies work across all sectors to increase the impact of actors on the front lines of community-demand-driven change by helping to shape and improve practice, inform policy, and advance the social sector field.
Prior to joining Urban, she was the Fund Advisor for Kendeda Fund, a limited-life private family foundation. She oversaw the Atlanta portfolio and led major investments that drove equitable access to high-quality K12 education and economic justice (emphasis on long-term housing affordability, community wealth building, and accessible quality transit). She managed a Reinvigorating Democracy portfolio dedicated to seeking a racially equitable and responsive democracy. She also led a national grantmaking program dedicated to restoring and reclaiming dignity for formerly incarcerated people.
The Urban Institute is a nonprofit research organization that provides data and evidence to help advance upward mobility and equity. For more than 50 years, they have been a trusted source for changemakers who seek to strengthen decision-making, create inclusive economic growth, and improve the well-being of families and communities.
The conversation will be moderated by Debra Lam, the Founding Director of the Partnership for Inclusive Innovation, a statewide public-private partnership committed to investing in innovative solutions for shared economic prosperity. She continues to lead smart communities and urban innovation work at Georgia Tech. Debra serves on the Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta board and was most recently appointed by the U.S. Department of Commerce to the Internet of Things Advisory Board.
The event is co-sponsored by Serve-Learn-Sustain and the Society of Women in Business.
