Closing the Educational Opportunity Gap

Moderator:

  • Brandon Davis, Director, Public Relations & Corporate Social Responsibility, CNA.

Panel:

The gap in academic achievement in the United States is a persistent and costly challenge.  One study showed, even prior to March 2020, the ongoing academic achievement gap in the United States has cost the U.S. economy as much as $2.3 trillion in economic output.

Join us in a discussion of how non-profit organizations, through their unique programs, are addressing this critical issue.  Also, learn how corporations and other organizations can help to address this sharply increasing critical issue.

The onslaught of COVID-19 has added fuel to the importance of this issue.  Learn also how this pandemic has impacted non-profit organizations and their diligent attempts to bring those funds back to the US economy.  What could be next in this current climate?
