I am busy working on exercises for this workshop. At #thefbcg, we deliver an interactive learning environment! The topic of family enterprises interfacing with legacy trusts is fascinating from a sociological, family dynamics, governance, and estate planning perspective. Join us for a creative and collaborative three hours. Also, join Oscar Paez in his presentation the following day. #thefbcg #cepa #arvc #familybusiness #familyenterprise #estateplanning #pda #familyoffice #familygovernance #manufacturing #womeninmanufacturing

SCG is excited to announce our 2024 Annual Conference, Better Together: Creating a Collective Legacy, which will take place on Thursday, September 26, 2024! We are entering a unique moment in Southern California. Major sporting events coming to Los Angeles, including the 2026 World Cup, the 2027 Super Bowl, and the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, are harbingers of the role our region must play as a leader working to solve complex problems from housing and homelessness to climate change and disaster mitigation. There are tremendous opportunities ahead for our region. All of us working across sectors—philanthropy, government, corporate, and community-based organizations—have vital roles to play. But we can't go about it alone. Now, more than ever, we need partnership. Because when we work together, we work better. SCG's 2024 Annual Conference, Better Together: Creating a Collective Legacy, will explore how our sector can leverage this pivotal moment for the long-term benefit of our communities. We will discuss how forging a legacy of equity and prosperity for our region will require us to deepen our relationships and strengthen our collaborative spirit. Our speakers will guide us through the critical issues our sector will grapple with in the years ahead, the consequences of the impending November elections, and the strategies needed to ensure a lasting impact in Southern California. We hope you will join your peers for SCG's largest event of the year.

🦁 My fellow Lions, Can we do more and better? Today, we are 1.4 million members in 47,000 clubs across 200 countries. Our impact on the world is undeniable, and our expertise is recognized by the biggest international institutions: UN, UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO, Council of Europe... In 2023 alone, 1.2 billion dollars grants were paid out, including 65 million collected by LCIF alone. We can be proud to be Lions! But can we do as well tomorrow? For some years now, we've been struggling to increase and rejuvenate our membership, particularly in historical geographical areas such as the United States and Europe. That's why, if we want to continue the legacy bequeathed by Melvin Jones and his companions, and go beyond our goals of "Mission 1.5", we need to adapt our association to the evolutions of our times, and listen more closely to our Clubs. There are many questions we need to ask ourselves, but we have three years to address them. What is our association's carbon footprint? Aren't we in danger of being blamed for it one day? Do we really need to increase membership fees to achieve quantitative or qualitative objectives? What about electronic or proxy voting, which would enable all Clubs to express their views? Should Lionism be developed in partnership with companies? How can we change the Lions Club's image to reflect new modes of expression? How can we share our altruistic ethic in an increasingly fragmented world? The list is obviously far from exhaustive. As President of our fine association, I will work with you and the Lions General Assembly on this major modernization project. Let's not be afraid of change. We are Lion! I thank you and count on your support in Melbourne. #LionsClubsInternational #LionsClub #lionsinternational #WeServe #LCIFLions #melbourne2024 #gomesforvp https://lnkd.in/duepPnVk

It's Official! Wish me luck! Laurie MacDonald, Candidate for U.S. Congress District 12   Laurie MacDonald has declared her candidacy for U. S. Congress District 12 which includes sections of Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties. A Democrat, MacDonald is the President/CEO of Center for Victims in Pittsburgh’s Southside.   A graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, MacDonald was born and raised in the Mon Valley. Throughout her career, she has served on numerous local and statewide boards and has been the recipient of numerous awards including: NAACP Community Organizer Award, Mon Valley Woman of Achievement Award, UPMC Diversity & Respect Champion, Forbes Fund, Wishart Award for Excellence in Nonprofit Management, Pittsburgh Business Times C-Suite Award as  CEO for a Nonprofit Organization and more.   When asked why she wants to run for congress, her reply is: “I have always considered myself to be an advocate; the voice of those whose voices who are not being heard. As a first-generation American, I learned early on the blessing of being an American, how very different our American way of life is and the struggles faced by so many in other countries. I am proud to be an American. My views are moderate. What I bring to the district is deeply rooted life experience, astrong understanding of all our unique communities and cultures. Our very differences are what weave us together to form a strong fabric of life in western Pennsylvania. We are a culture of respect and hard work. Through our professional sports, our wide range of ethnic and religious celebrations and universities, all are welcomed and celebrated in our communities.    What we see now is a country deeply divided. The vociferous rhetoric, divisiveness and polarizing politics that consume our country right now must stop. My experience has taught me to lead with empathy and compassion. I believe the best ideas arise when all voices are heard, respectfully. Good leadership requires the vision to see both sides, coalesce the ideas and bring people together. No one group’s ideology is more important than the other. Our most important asset, as a country, is unity. In unity there is strength and harmony. It is incumbent on all of us, especially our leaders, to move to the middle with liberty and justice for all. www.macdonald4congress.com

Check out our SDG video in partnership with Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications where I speak about the role of THINKHOUSE is promoting the SDGs, specifically highlighting our commitment to address SDG 12 - responsible production and consumption and SDG 13 - Climate Action. 🌎 This update comes on the back of the #SummitofTheFuture in New York last week where the #PactForTheFuture, a comprehensive and intergovernmentally action plan was negotiated. This pact is the culmination of an inclusive, years-long process aimed at adapting international cooperation to today's realities and tomorrow's challenges with the aim of turbocharging our efforts to address the #SDGs. It covers a broad range of themes including peace and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth, and future generations, as well as the transformation of global governance. 🌎 🌿 One of the most significant aspects of the pact is the agreement to develop a 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 (𝗚𝗗𝗣) 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀.
