DEAR COLLEAGUES,

Thank you for joining us for SCG’s 2014 Annual Conference. This year’s theme is “Building Resilient Communities: Opportunities for Philanthropic Leadership.”

Today we’ll explore some of the many facets of resilience, and how our individual and collaborative efforts can help strengthen people and communities to transcend chronic challenges and urgent crises, including environmental, social, and economic risks.

With an incredible array of speakers, including national thought leaders, regional experts, and local community members, today’s conference is designed to help us break down silos across sectors and regions so we can support transformative community change.

Most importantly, this conference is a chance to share your voice, your expertise, and your creativity with the broader SCG community. We have included many interactive sessions and plenty of networking throughout the day to give you opportunities to connect with your peers and advance your grantmaking.

Thank you for your leadership in SCG’s growing network of organizations, representing the breadth of our region’s dynamic philanthropic community.

Sincerely,

Opening PlenaryResiliency: A Multi-Sector, Multi-Issue ApproachResiliency is about how we create the systems that allow people, institutions, and communities to not only survive, but to adapt and grow while facing chronic challenges like poverty, long-term unemployment, and natural and man-made disasters. The Federal Reserve’s Dr. David Erickson will lead a powerful panel discussion on why and how we must break down silos between sectors, funding streams, and issues—to develop smart strategies that enhance our collective impact on communities.

Presentation and Panel DiscussionSouthern California Since the Recession: Building Resilience Requires Investing in People

Resilience is about more than strengthening physical infrastructures. In order to fully address the conditions and risks that threaten a community’s ability to bounce back, we must invest in our human infrastructure. Health, education, and the ability to earn a decent living are the basic building blocks to address the increasing rapid-fi re shocks affecting Southern California. These shocks go well beyond natural disasters to long-standing gaps in well-being that have long term effects: poverty, inequality of opportunity, and youth disconnection, to name a few.

Using research from her forthcoming A Portrait of California 2014-2015, Sarah Burd-Sharps, Co-Director of Measure of America, will give a brief presentation and facilitate a panel discussion on how different demographic groups in Southern California have fared since the Great Recession—with a focus on Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. Which groups had the most trouble recovering and why? Which were successful? Panelists will discuss different facets of resilience and how to build an infrastructure of opportunity to serve the next generation in our region.

SHORT TALK BREAKOUTSParticipate in two rounds of fast-paced interactive breakouts on key aspects of resilient communities. Nonprofi t and community leaders will give a brief presentation and then join a dynamic conversation with participants about how philanthropy can engage with and support these critical issues. Each short talk will be guided by an expert facilitator from the Center for Nonprofi t Management, the premier resource for nonprofi t organizations in the Southern California region:

Short Talks - Round 1 2:15 - 3:05 (Please check screens for updated room assignments.)

Breaking the School-to-Prison Pipeline With 70% of Californians under 25 being people of color, our future is in color. Signifi cantly more likely to receive suspensions, drop out of high school, and get funneled into the criminal justice system than their white peers, many of these young people don’t see a promising future for themselves. When one suspension alone doubles the chance of dropping out and triples their chance of getting involved in the justice system, we need to concentrate on keeping kids in school and out of the school-to-prison pipeline. Corleone Ham, a recent Wilson High School graduate, and Beron Thompkins Jr., a B.L.O.O.M. Youth Ambassador, will share how they got the support they needed to stay in school, focus on their communities, and see a future of possibility and success.

Corleone Ham is the Program Coordinator for the Young Men’s Empowerment Program at Khmer Girls in Action, a community-based organization whose mission is to build a progressive and sustainable Long Beach community that works for gender, racial, and economic justice and empowers Southeast Asian youth to become leaders in their community and their lives.

He is currently studying at Long Beach City College and is majoring in International Development Studies.

Building Partnerships that Break Sector Silos and Strengthen CommunitiesPublic-private partnerships offer some of the most innovative solutions to society’s problems. But how do we break down the silos to build them?

Community Connections and Sense of Place: Shaping the Future of Southern CaliforniaWhen times get really tough, our neighbors often provide us with the most immediate and impactful assistance. As such, fostering community identity and relationships are essential strategies in the resiliency toolkit. Dr. Lucy Jones leverages over three decades of research and application of resilience information to focus on how individuals and organizations connected to their community are able to grow and effectively manage the dynamic world around them. With examples from L.A., the U.S., and around the globe, Dr. Jones will share best practices for vulnerable communities to thrive after a natural or manmade impact and thoughts about how to strengthen those bonds in Southern California.

Student Health = Student Success: The School-Based Wellness Center BreakthroughWe’ve long known that academic performance is influenced by health and wellness. That’s why the L.A. Unified School District’s decision to break down the barriers between health and education funding is a breakthrough. With 12 Wellness Centers currently on LAUSD campuses, and more to open soon, there is now a greater focus on promoting wellness and increasing student access to health and mental health services. This model may soon transform both student achievement and community health. Maryjane Puffer with The Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health will discuss this integrated, holistic approach to student and community health and the promise it holds for the future of our region.

MARYJANE PUFFER, Executive Director, The Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health

In her role as Executive Director, Maryjane Puffer facilitates the development of L.A. Unified School District’s Wellness Networks and is on the cutting edge of community prevention framework strategies for health programming in schools.

Puffer serves on several committees, including the School Health Coalition of Los Angeles County. She was recognized as the 2014 “Healthcare Advocate of the Year” by the Los Angeles Business Journal.

The Struggle Against Poverty: A Human Rights Approach to Building Hope and Dignity with the CommunityThe prevalent narrative about many of our poorest communities is one of anger and despair. Many in these communities face interconnected issues related to poverty, substandard housing, lack of economic opportunity, and poor health indicators. With income inequality widening, the need to address these challenges grows stronger daily. Esperanza Community Housing Corporation’s Nancy Ibrahim will share a comprehensive community development approach that interconnects programs related to health and housing rights, environmental justice, economic opportunity, and cultural/artistic expression—one that is meaningfully changing the narrative in South Los Angeles, rebuilding the community, and bringing back hope and dignity.

NANCY HALPERN IBRAHIM, Executive Director, Esperanza Community Housing Corporation

Nancy Halpern Ibrahim joined Esperanza Community Housing Corporation in 1995 as founding Director of Health Programs, where she designed the Community Health Promoters Program and generated pioneering community health collaboratives.

Short Talks - Round 23:20 - 4:10 (Please check screens for updated room assignments.)

Drought, Heat, and Resilience: How Smart Philanthropy Can Help Southern California Communities Survive and ThriveOur region is facing severe drought, major wildfires, and record-breaking heat waves, all of which impact our communities and our way of life. How can philanthropy engage in smart strategies and partnerships to ensure California communities continue to thrive? Climate Resolve’s Jonathan Parfrey will share examples of local projects and strategies that can help us weather today’s storms (or lack thereof) and better prepare for tomorrow.

JONATHAN PARFREY, Executive Director, Climate Resolve

He is a Fellow at the Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities, and in 2010 he received a Durfee Stanton Fellowship.

Investing in Kids: Prioritizing Children’s Well-Being Too many of our children lack the basic building blocks to ensure success—high quality early learning experiences, rigorous K-12 academics, enriching afterschool and summer programs, and access to critical health care services. Sharyn Church, the Los Angeles Director for Children Now, will share local county data from the 2014 California County Scorecard of Children’s Well-Being to illustrate where children are doing well and how philanthropy can come together to prioritize well-being and improve outcomes for children.

SHARYN CHURCH, Los Angeles Director, Children Now

Strengthening the Region’s Creative EconomySouthern California is the creative capital of the United States: the source of 726,000 jobs, $140 billion dollars in revenue, and home to more artists than anywhere in the country… but cities all over the world want to attract this sector and the ancillary benefits it provides for our children and communities. How can philanthropy join with government and other partners to strengthen our creative sector and make it more resilient in the face of increasing international competition, technology changes, and intellectual property challenges? Keith McNutt, author of the 2013 report, LA CREATES, will share his recommendations for sustaining and growing our region’s creative identity, output, and impact.

KEITH MCNUTT, Director, Western Region, The Actors Fund

Keith McNutt is the Director of the Western Region of The Actors Fund, a national nonprofit that helps professionals in all disciplines of the performing arts and entertainment. Prior to his work in Los Angeles, he worked for The Fund’s AIDS Initiative in New York.

His report, LA CREATES: Supporting the Creative Economy in Los Angeles, was released as a policy recommendation supplement to the 2013 Otis Report on the Creative Economy.

Causes Count: How Nonprofits Make the California Economy More ResilientThough sometimes portrayed as too small to matter or less efficient than for-profit businesses, our nonprofit sector is teeming with exceptional human and financial capital. Nonprofits are a major contributor to our economy. The sector’s impact, however, could be considerably greater, particularly in our region. As the new Causes Count report shows, Southern California nonprofits average significantly fewer resources than those in Northern California. Jan Masaoka of The California Association of Nonprofits will provide insight into these substantial resource discrepancies and ask us to consider how philanthropy might help rebalance resources to strengthen our region’s economy and build more resilient communities.

JAN MASAOKA, Chief Executive Officer, California Association of Nonprofits

Jan Masaoka is Chief Executive Officer of the California Association of Nonprofits, which recently conducted the first-ever economic impact study of California’s nonprofit sector. Her books include Nonprofit Sustainability and The Nonprofit’s Guide to HR, and she founded and edits Blue Avocado magazine.

Engaging Communities and Patients as Partners to Address DepressionAlthough depression is the largest cause of disability in adults in the U.S., most people living in low-income, minority communities don’t have access to the kind of high quality care that is most effective. UCLA’s Dr. Bowen Chung and Felica Jones with Healthy African American Families II will discuss an approach to addressing depression in under-resourced communities of color that engages communities and patients as partners in designing services to best meet their needs. This L.A. County Health Initiative model, which is being implemented in five local communities and may soon expand to 24 others, is bringing hope and possibility to people and communities who previously struggled alone with this issue.

DR. BOWEN CHUNG, Assistant Professor in Residence, Department of Psychiatry, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA

Bowen Chung, MD, MSHS is an Assistant Professor in Residence in the Department of Psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Adjunct Scientist at the RAND Corporation, and a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Harbor - UCLA Medical Center, a community safety-net public hospital in Los Angeles County.

FEATURED ADDRESS 4:30 - 5:15, Ahmanson Hall

Coping with Trauma: Building Personal and Community ResilienceCoping with trauma is a key factor in building personal and community resilience, particularly for individuals and families in under-resourced or violence-plagued communities, as well as for our growing veteran population. SCG member Dr. Phil McGraw—renowned television personality, author, and psychologist—will speak about his professional and philanthropic work helping people heal from trauma and why elevating a comprehensive approach to community support can help us make a lasting impact on the populations we serve.

DR. PHIL MCGRAW

Dr. Phil McGraw provides the most extensive forum on mental health issues in the history of television. For 11 years, he has used the Dr. Phil platform to make psychology accessible and understandable to the general public by addressing critical social issues, including the “silent epidemics” of bullying, drug abuse, domestic violence, depression, child abuse, suicide, and various forms of severe mental illness. Dr. McGraw is the author of seven #1 New York Times bestsellers and is frequently called upon for his expert opinion on current events by national and international news outlets. In 2003, he established The Dr. Phil Foundation, which addresses the emotional, spiritual, and monetary needs of children and families—and works to fight problems that cripple our society in subtle but undeniable ways.
