Investing for Impact: Creating New Pathways for Growth

Impact investing has been a topic of significant interest in the business and philanthropy communities for years, but it has yet to reach the mainstream. For advocates of all backgrounds today, opportunities are becoming increasingly available to align one’s money (and career) with one’s values.

Our four panelists, each an accomoplished professional in the field of impact investing, will attest to their career in contributing to the shifting the narrative of finance. Investments no longer serve the sole purpose of producing financial results, and each speaker will share how he or she has been able to create social and environmental impact through this new practice.

Our panelists include Patricia Dineen, Impact Investing Council Chair for EMPEA; Lisa Williams, Vice President at Goldman Sachs (Imprint); Sris Chatterjee, Professor of Finance here at Fordham; and Alex Healey, a Portfolio Associate at Acumen. Fordham junior Max Lynch will sit in as moderator.

Light food and refreshments will be served, and business casual attire is encouraged.
