Event Description

The Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce will host its Annual Policy Summit & End of Summer Bash, taking place on Tuesday, August 30th from 3-6pm at the new Hotel Marcel (500 Sargent Drive, New Haven 06511). This year’s theme is "Rethinking The New Workforce: Strengthening Our Talent Advantage to Drive Regional Economic Growth."
Over the past few years, the dynamics of the workforce have changed. Our business community has faced a drastic need to hire workers, prompting the question, where did all of our workers go?
In the 2022 Policy Summit, we will address this question and rethink how we approach the workforce to ensure talent is a competitive advantage for our region.  During this event, we will cover innovative approaches that are showing strong early returns, including regional sector partnerships. We will also share best practices to retain a young and diverse workforce. Join us for an in-depth conversation on the new workforce, and what it means for your business. A reception is to follow the program with networking, beer and wine, a signature cocktail, and live entertainment in the lobby of the Hotel Marcel.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact

LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.

Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing

With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."

EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant

LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
