NationSwell
An award-winning executive membership community and advisory for social impact, sustainability, and philanthropy leaders
Friends of NationSwell,
Amidst the turbulence of the moment, we are tripling down on our mission of being in deep service to our nation's leading social impact leaders. We’ve already hit the ground running with seven virtual events since January 1 dedicated to advancing the impact imperative, and have published several new resources created specifically with impact leaders in mind.
In an attempt to cut through some of the noise on recent DEI headlines, NationSwell VP of Insights Nick Cericola shared some observations on how we should be sense-making the current landscape. You can find his abbreviated takeaways here.
Warmly,
The NationSwell Team
