Sept. 7, 2022: San Diego Business Journal – Cause Conference Views Business as a Catalyst:  Private Sector Has the Means and Opportunity to Do Good

Excerpt: “We live in a time of epic challenges,” said Grant Oliphant, CEO of the Conrad Prebys Foundation, “and in the future every community and region is going to be defined by how well they meet those challenges. San Diego is in a position to lead, not just go along with the pack, in addressing major social, economic and environmental issues, and why shouldn’t we make that our ambition? Embracing that goal means we need to harness the entrepreneurship and innovation of every sector in this region. I agreed to co-chair the Cause Conference with Donna DeBerry because we need business at the table with foundations, nonprofits and government working collaboratively to bring the best resources and skills together to improve the well-being of all San Diegans in all our diverse communities.”
