🌟 Shining a Light on the American South’s Untapped Change-Makers 🌟 Marc Carr MBA reflects on a recent tour of the American South, it’s clear that we’re only scratching the surface of the immense change-making talent that exists within these communities. From Clarksdale, Mississippi—known as the home of the blues but rich with community redevelopment efforts—to bustling Charlotte, I witnessed powerful initiatives led by local leaders deeply rooted in the challenges their communities face. These “proximate leaders” are the very people driving innovative solutions, reclaiming their communities, and demonstrating a unique, authentic approach to impact that only those close to the issues can bring. This journey reinforced the importance of being on the ground, not just looking at data from afar. Foundations have a crucial role in supporting these local changemakers by truly understanding community needs, which often means taking the time to tour, listen, and learn firsthand. Supporting these leaders—who are overlooked far too often—can help catalyze sustainable, locally driven change. If foundations, investors, and advocates continue to focus on proximate leadership, we can uplift these communities and the often-overlooked positive stories that exist alongside the challenges. Let’s recognize and champion the impactful work happening in the South and beyond. #CommunityCapital #ProximateLeadership #SouthernChangeMakers #ImpactInvestment #CommunityDevelopment #UntappedTalent #FoundationsForChange #InvestInTheSouth #ClarksdaleMississippi #Charlotte

You don’t have to run for office to be a leader. Serving on a government board or commission lets you use your expertise to make decisions that benefit your community. And it doesn’t require the time and money needed to run for office. Take the first step. https://bit.ly/3r5YSOY #Leadership #Volunteer #Government #GovTech

Procurement Leaders and Dei Leaders Have the Opportunity to Align for Greater Business Impact. What a great keynote by PETER HURST at the Diversity in Higher Education Symposium. He provided a wealth of data that connected the dots between minority business development, the wealth gap, and the impact on the broader economy. One of the key takeaways was MBE to MBE Commerce. Supplier diversity isn’t just about networking—it’s about economic empowerment and building resilience. When minority-owned businesses intentionally collaborate, we’re circulating dollars within our communities, driving growth, and creating opportunities that extend beyond a single transaction. This isn’t charity; it’s smart business. MBE to MBE commerce strengthens supply chains, diversifies markets, and fosters innovation. In an economy where agility and authenticity matter more than ever, these partnerships keep businesses competitive and responsive. #DEI #supplierdiversity #leadership
