Description
In this incredibly fun, thought provoking and visionary episode, Nancy and Jose are joined in studio by Mark Stuart, the President & CEO of one of the most important community...
show moreUnder his leadership, the San Diego Foundation has a new strategic plan, vision, and mission, all predicated on becoming deeper and better listeners to diverse voices in the community, the voices that are not the usual suspects for grants, but voices who know where real need is overlooked. Mark is a man with a motto of "keep running" and one who lives his life with the hope of achieving a tombstone which reads "he left the world a better place."
What else do we learn from this impactful leader? One of the ways he intends on leaving San Diego a better place is through affordable housing. Not with the usual model but with innovative thinking from Europe and beyond - proven models with different angles of attack to solve the problem. The commitment? $100 million fund, $10 million directly from the San Diego Foundation.
Here are some other amazing takeaways from the interview with Mark Stuart:
- The entire purpose of the San Diego Foundation is building equitable and resilient
communities
- He thinks deeply about workforce, workforce, workforce
- His reading of Kurt Vonnegut's "Piano Player" no doubt informs his thinking about
workforce
- He wishes he had learned to speak Spanish!
- The answers to the Rapid Fire questions!
A truly insightful conversation from a phenomenal gap minder. Thank you, Mark Stuart, for your contributions to San Diego and for fighting every single day to build equity, resilience and opportunity to San Diego, and for joining us on The Gap Minders.
