During his two terms in office, Rick Baker worked toward a clear, uncompromising goal: to make St. Petersburg the best city in America. He led a downtown renaissance, rebuilt the most economically depressed area of the city, attracted businesses, worked to reduce violent crime, and made public schools a city priority − all with measurable results. His new book, The Seamless City, offers practical advice, based on his nine years of experience in City Hall, to show how every community can become dramatically better.

Following the panel’s presentation, our moderators will lead an interactive exercise designed to inspire our participants to think outside the box – or even to get rid of the box altogether.

Case Study/Presentation - More than a Game: the Super Bowl Legacy Project in Indianapolis

• Tina Jo Walters, Vice President of Corporate Responsibility, JPMorgan Chase, Indianapolis, Ind.

When the Super Bowl comes to town, the NFL seeks to leave a legacy by donating $1 million for a “Youth Education Town” project to serve at-risk young people. After it was selected as the host city for the 2012 Super Bowl, community leaders decided to use the funds as the core of a multimillion revitalization project for the city’s downtrodden Near Eastside. Our speakers will share their stories of collaboration carried out with the backdrop of one of the world’s premier sporting events.

How to Communicate Your Initiatives to Inspire Trust — and Revenue

• Joe Sibilia, CEO, CSRwire, Springfield, Mass.
• Stephen Jordan, Executive Director, U.S. Chamber of Commerce Business Civic Leadership Center, Washington, D.C. 

For decades, the nonprofit sector has talked about their causes – the impact, the urgency, the need. Never has our messaging focused on the intended audience: Why should they get involved, why care, how do their value systems align with ours? 

So how do we flip the table and target our communications, whether they're press releases, blogs, grant letters or solicitation efforts? 

Led by CSRwire CEO Joe Sibilia and BCLC Executive Director Stephen Jordan, this roundtable will discuss how to best communicate our initiatives in a way that inspires trust and revenue. Also on the agenda:  How can the nonprofit sector build capacity through peer learning? How can we better communicate what we're doing as a value proposition? And, where are we headed with social enterprise?

11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.  

Concluding Session -
