PRESENTING SPONSORS
ACT TO ACHIEVE 2021 SUMMIT Thank you for joining us at the 2021 B:CIVIC Summit | Act to Achieve. We hope you walked away inspired, energized and with an expanded toolkit of best practices to advance your work in social responsibility. The local and national thought leaders that joined the Summit challenged us to think differently about how to tell our story, encouraged us to develop cross-industry partnerships to drive impact, inspired a sustainability movement, and in the words of Diane Primo with Purpose Brand Agency, “The next 10 years are about impact. It’s about positioning your organization around purpose and showing what that impact is.” A special thanks to our committee who worked tirelessly to bring this year’s Summit to life. Additionally, a huge thank you to our sponsors, particularly our Presenting Sponsors Delta Dental of Colorado and VF Corporation. As we conclude the Summit, our challenge to you: 1.
