The event, titled Civil Society and Well-Being, featured Ram Cnaan, Femida Handy, and Katherina Rosqueta, moderated by Carleigh Douglas. The speakers discussed how nonprofit institutions, faith-based organizations, and philanthropic foundations contribute to — and sometimes complicate — efforts to improve public welfare in front of a lively audience.
