Open to the public, the “Creating + Cultivating Corporate Partnerships” event will showcase a panel discussion where special guests will share how their companies approach corporate philanthropy. This will be a unique look at what motivates companies to give and how to build meaningful donor partnerships.
The event will feature a guided panel discussion, an open Q&A and small group conversation led by various local corporate giving representatives.
Warner Norcross + Judd LLP’s Community Relations Manager Courtney Failer will share her insight into corporate and social giving initiatives from a law firm’s perspective. In her role at Warner, Courtney drives positive change and engagement by overseeing sponsorships, philanthropy and community initiatives. She champions diversity by serving on the firm’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Action Committee, leads LGBTQIA+ empowerment as chair of the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce OutPro Council and amplifies social impact through leadership roles in the State of Michigan’s Corporate Social Impact Network. A graduate of the Institute for Corporate Social Responsibility, Courtney’s commitment to learning and leadership has earned her several community recognitions and honors.
