Business for Good, in action. 🌎

The Ballard Center for Social Impact was honored to welcome brothers and BYU alumni Davis Smith, founder of Cotopaxi, and Ryan Smith, founder of Recyclops, for a conversation about using business to Do Good. Better.

From entrepreneurship to social impact, students had the opportunity to hear firsthand how innovative ideas can grow into businesses that make a meaningful difference.

Thank you to Davis, Ryan, Janae Ricks, and everyone who joined us for an inspiring Business for Good event!

After over a decade of service at the Ballard Center for Social Impact, Rose Palmer accepted a new role at the Wheatley Institute, where she will help to accelerate their work in strengthening constitutional government, religious freedom, and the institution of the family.

Rose brightens every room she walks into, bringing a steady stream of light, joy, and warmth into our office every single day. Her presence has shaped the Ballard Center in ways that are hard to fully put into words.

While it’s difficult to see her go and she will be missed at the Center, we are thrilled for her as she steps into this next chapter.

Thank you, Rose, for all your support in making your time with us so meaningful, and for the lasting effect you have had on the Center and each of us.

If you would like to share in our gratitude, we would love for you to comment with your favorite moments and experiences with Rose!
