Employees increasingly expect to work for companies that care. Companies, meanwhile, have a
vested interest in the health of their communities.
The symbiotic relationship between companies, their employees and nonprofit organizations that
meet community needs will be the topic of The Main Line Chamber of Commerce’s first new Signature Event
in eight years. The Summit on Business Leadership and Corporate Volunteerism will address key issues
relating to corporate social responsibility.
This event, which will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Nov. 3 at the Valley Forge Casino Resort’s
Waterford Ballroom, is geared toward C-level executives, human resources professionals and nonprofit
leaders. It will tackle questions that include how best to engage employees in volunteer activities, selecting
the right nonprofit partners and how to track a company’s impact.
Liberty Property Trust President and CEO William P. Hankowsky will provide the keynote about the
role of business leaders in fostering positive change in their communities. The builder of both Comcast towers
in Philadelphia, Liberty Property Trust was founded by the late Willard G. Rouse III, who was instrumental in
the construction of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.
A power panel of CEOs and experts in corporate social responsibility will feature Vanguard Head of
Community Involvement Carra Cote-Ackah, who is also former director of partnerships and strategic initiatives
at Penn’s Center for High Impact Philanthropy; Morgan Berman, CEO of Milkcrate, which helps companies
measure the impact of their employees and corporate social responsibility efforts; Kevin Nolan, President of
Nolan Painting, which in 2015 launched an initiative to invest $1 million over ten years supporting local
organizations and events; and Ed Satell, CEO of Progressive Business Publications and Founder of The Satell
Institute, which is launching a pilot project by identifying ten companies that will invest $1 million over four
years.
We invite you to reserve your seat to participate in this important event for our region.
Have an energizing and profitable day,
Young Professionals

The Main Line Chamber Foundation
Main Line 5kRun/Walk
Thank you to everyone who participated in the
19th Annual Main Line Giant 5k run/walk
The Main Line Chamber Foundation was able to raise a significant amount of money that will be
awarded in scholarships to local firefighters and EMTs on the Main Line in 2017. Thank you to our sponsors,
without you this couldn’t be possible. Proceeds from the race will benefit The Main Line Emergency
Responders Scholarship Program, which provides scholarships to volunteer firefighters and emergency medical
technicians at 17 firehouses in the area as well as students attending Pennsylvania Free
Enterprise week. A full list of sponsorship opportunities is available at www.mainlinerun.org.
