We had an incredible morning at our largest ever Nonprofit CEO and Board Leader event with 450+ attendees from across the nonprofit sector. Our gathering featured a keynote address by Steve Forbes, Chairman and Editor-In-Chief of Forbes Media, followed by an insightful discussion on inflation, the economy, and how it impacts the nonprofit sector and communities, between Mr. Forbes and Christopher Maher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Red Bank based OceanFirst Bank, and Chairman of OceanFirst Foundation.
“I had the privilege of attending the recent OceanFirst Foundation event, and it was truly an incredible morning. The event showcased the remarkable dedication of OceanFirst to community development and social responsibility. The insightful discussions, especially with leaders like Steve Forbes, highlighted the critical role that financial institutions can play in driving positive change. The Satell Institute is proud to collaborate with OceanFirst in its efforts and looks forward to seeing the continued impact of their initiatives”, shared Paul Howard, Regional Vice President, North, Satell Institute.
Melissa Acree, first-time attendee and Chief Executive Officer of NJ 211, shared, “I was so impressed with the tremendous turn out and the keynote speaker. Steve Forbes’ insight on inflation was delivered in a meaningful and simple enough manner to be grasped. Thank you, Ocean First Foundation, for convening this event!”
