PROGRAM AND GUESTS

This year, we're excited to explore the hot field of social impact and how it can/does intersect with policymaking.

Leading the evening is special guest and keynote, LBJ School alumna Lisa Graham, owner and founder of social impact venture capital firm Notley Ventures. Notley is a well-known leader in Austin’s rapidly growing social innovation space with numerous major initiatives including the Philanthropitch competition for nonprofits, the Center for Social Innovation co-working space, and the Notley Fellowship program for social sector leaders. Lisa’s path as a policy analyst, nonprofit leader, and social innovation accelerator gives her a unique perspective and approach to tackling today’s many social challenges.
