Another Great Event! FLiP's Fourth Event

FLiP's fourth event was a huge success. The big news it that, unlike last time, we were finally in a space big enough to fit us! 130+ FLiPs gathered to listen to the philanthropic musings of Brian Walsh, the guy with the coolest title in the room. Brian, the Director of Global Social Engagement, focused his speech on describing to us how Liquidnet – for lack of a better phrase - does philanthropy. One of the most innovative approaches to corporate giving I’ve ever heard, Brian goes beyond financial donations, and in fact seeks to create a culture of philanthropy at Liquidnet.

Personally, I was really happy with the vibe in the room. Not to harp on the same subject we always write about, but people just seem really happy to meet each other! How often do young professionals in philanthropy get to meet each other? How often do young people in the philanthropic sector exchange business cards with their colleagues, trade advice, and make new connections?

Judging by the crowd and the energy in the room, not nearly often enough.
