Yale SOM Connecticut Chapter | CT Networking Night: Addressing Our Growing Economic Divide
Addressing Our Growing Economic Divide: Building Generational Wealth with Mission-Driven Capital and Entrepreneurial Assistance
Exciting initiatives are underway in and around Connecticut designed to address the growing wealth disparity in our society. These efforts are bringing both financial and social capital to budding entrepreneurs in under-resourced communities.
At the Spring gathering of CT SOM Alumni Chapter, we’ll hear from Yale Alumni and Community Foundation for Greater New Haven leaders. Each brings a unique perspective for addressing the challenge and driving results.
The panel discussion will be followed by a networking reception, courtesy of The Community Foundation.
