The Clark Foundation is nearing the conclusion of its decade-long sunset strategy. The foundation, founded in 1987, began its 10-year $1.3B spendown in 2016, partnering with organizations to educate future engineering leaders, support veterans and their families, and expand opportunities for the Washington, DC community.
Currently in its final year, the foundation remains focused on ensuring that their partners have the leadership, infrastructure, and financial strength to grow and support their communities today and in the future.
Join us for a conversation with Joe Del Guercio, president and chief executive officer of the Clark Foundation, Ashley Williams, COO, and Sarah Elbert, director of communications, who will share practical learnings from their spend down journey.
For those who would like to participate, we will have an additional 15 minutes of networking time at the end of the program.
If you are not yet a member of the Strategic Lifespan Peer Network, you may join here.
