Philanthropy New York is pleased to announce that Shaun Donovan, United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and Chair of the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force, will be one of the featured speakers at our 34th Annual Meeting.
Secretary Donovan will be joined by New York State Director of Operations Howard Glaser, NYC Economic Development Corporation President Seth Pinsky and moderator Melissa Harris-Perry from MSNBC in a discussion of how philanthropy and government can best work together to rebuild our local communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Moderated breakout sessions before the keynote panel will also focus on topics related to rebuilding and resiliency.
The first hour of the day's events will have three concurrent member engagement sessions to choose from:
- How the Money Flows
An examination of all the various sources of recovery dollars (federal, state and local government funds, insurance money, philanthropy, private investment and more), what intermediaries will control the flow of the money, and what those funds are being directed toward.
Welcome: Cynthia Rivera Weissblum, President and CEO, Edwin Gould Foundation
Moderator: Linda Manley, Legal Director, Lawyers Alliance
Amy Brusiloff, Senior Vice President, Bank of America
Gary Hattem, President, Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation
Jeanne M. Salvatore, Senior Vice President, Insurance Information Institute
Stewart Sarkozy-Banoczy, Director, Office for International and Philanthropic Innovation, U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development
- Strong Communities ARE Strong Infrastructure
One of the lessons of Sandy was that communities with an existing strong infrastructure of community-based services responded better. What does it really take to have those strong supports in every community?

Olu Atanda-Ogunleye, Senior Director, Community & School Services, Safe Space, member of the Far Rockaway Arverne Nonprofit Coalition

- Preparing Vulnerable Populations for Crisis
The elderly, people in public housing and daycare providers are just a few of the populations that are inherently vulnerable when disaster comes. What can we do to prepare better to care for these community members when they need us most?
