OTHER EXTRACURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES
Catalyst of San Diego & Imperial Counties’ annual conference, Here & Now
Thursday, November 3, 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM
In this unique moment, what is required of us as funders? At our first in-person conference in two years, “Here & Now” is a deep dive into the relationships we hold with one another, the communities we fund, and our region. What informs the decisions we make as funders to invest time and capital? What does it truly mean to build trust? How do we build new relationships, nurture existing ones, and expand our thinking about the investments we make?
Dr. Carmen Rojas, President & CEO of the Marguerite Casey Foundation, will join us as a keynote speaker. As a funder herself, Dr. Rojas will share her unique perspective on the power and position of funders, and where our impact is most necessary.
We will spend our day in San Ysidro, a microcosm of the intersections and complex issues our region faces: what happens there reverberates throughout our region in powerful ways. Join us for an immersive day of learning in partnership with Casa Familiar, a leading service and community development organization in San Ysidro, to explore what it means for all of us, living in the transborder communities of San Diego and Imperial Counties.
Contact Louise Leu at lleu@sandiego.edu if you’re interested, a recent alumni will help sponsor 2 tickets for Kroc students.

The Consortium’s Speaker Series brings an international roster of frontline practitioners, reflective activists and engaged scholars to University of Massachusetts Boston’s campus. Their talks address the complex realities of women’s and men’s lives and livelihoods in conflict-affected areas, the challenges of trying to bring feminist commitments into security policy and humanitarian practice, and the ways in which gender analysis can and must transform resolutely “gender-blind” paradigms of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Information about Upcoming Speaker Events, Events Earlier This Year, and Past Speaker Events is available here. You can find videos or transcripts of these events, when available, under Consortium Lectures.
