Association of Corporate Citizenship Professionals knows its members. Our value is in our deep understanding of member needs. One way we stay connected is regional community gatherings like this one in Atlanta on June 1, where local corporate social impact practitioners gathered to share today's trends and challenges.
We joined and Center for Creative Leadership during SSI in Atlanta. Together with leaders from - Cola, Townsend & Stock LLP, Crowe, , and more, we discussed what the field needs right now to continue driving the change companies and communities need.
Among our key agreements:
- Strong corporate/NGO partnerships require both sides to understand each other's risk landscape, not just their own.
- The tools that make the business case for social impact (retention, brand trust, risk mitigation) are more important now, not less.
- Uncertainty is not a reason to pull back. It is an argument for smarter, more transparent partnership structures.
Thank you to everyone who shared their perspectives and experiencesโit's these honest conversations that help strengthen both our profession and our impact.
