Conference focuses on ways to make cities more accessible to entrepreneurship
Creating an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem is a pillar of The Foundation's efforts to promote a future of opportunity for Greater New Haven. In June, The Foundation brought a team of local leaders to Pittsburgh for the "Advancing Inclusive Entrepreneurship" national conference hosted by Forward Cities, a learning network of 40 cities including New Haven.
Representatives from The Foundation's staff and board were joined by Quinnipiac University School of Business professor Fred McKinney, Collab co-founder Caroline Smith, New Haven businesswoman and community leader Kim Harris and Shelton businessman Dominick Cerritelli.
