Local Leaders brings together Seattle’s most passionate nonprofit and CSR professionals for an evening of real connection and candid conversation at Karoo Cafe, steps from Pike Place Market. This gathering focuses on housing and community impact: how companies and community partners can work together on the region’s most pressing local needs.
Lily Kim and Ryan Nguyen of the Amazon Housing Fund will give a short presentation on what they’ve learned from the housing and community work happening across the region. That covers how funding decisions get made, how impact is measured for residents and communities, and what makes partnerships with local developers, nonprofits and public housing organizations work.
Whether you lead your company’s CSR programs, manage corporate partnerships, or work where business and social good meet, you’ll leave with new connections, fresh perspective on the work happening in Seattle, and practical ideas for making a meaningful local impact.
What to Expect:
- Curated Networking: Meet CSR and nonprofit leaders from your city in a setting built for real conversation, not networking small talk.
