 Welcome back everyone! Did you get some of that delicious food out there? Enjoy some sunshine? I made it out of my green room, wandered around, sat at a picnic table and saw all the wonderful happy people out there. Thanks for joining us for this afternoon session of the main stage. We'll go through a range of topics during this main stage afternoon program, but we're gonna start with some conversations that are really timely and very newsworthy. Since the beginning of 2018, there have been a few major US policy announcements that have really significant implications for the impact investing community, both in domestic policy and for international development. So we have a pair of sessions here today that will give you the latest from the folks who are really at the leading edge of all of the conversations around how this new policy will affect anyone working in this community. So I'm so pleased that for our afternoon session today we have Jim Sorenson with us, who is a renowned entrepreneur, business leader, societal innovator. Jim made a significant gift to the University of Utah in 2013 to create the Sorenson Impact Center, and Jim has been a foundational advocate for Opportunity Zone legislation. So he'll talk to you more about his role in that legislation, his commitment to seeing it enacted, and please give a warm welcome to Jim Sorenson. Thank you Lindsay, and it's wonderful to be here at yet another Socap, and it's great to see the growth of this event and to be able to be a part of the excitement and a lot of the themes that come out each year. And of course the theme this year I think is really exciting and it's all about some of the policies that have been passed and are in the process of being implemented that I think will have a dramatic effect on impact investing. Now as an entrepreneur I've made a living in generating, testing, and collaborating on good ideas, and in the area of philanthropy I now spend my days really doing the same type of thing looking for evaluating and hopefully collaborating on successful ventures. And I think the efforts of the last year have proven to be quite fruitful in the area of policy. I think the collaboration between philanthropy, between investors in the investment community, between government and local leaders, and service providers in the nonprofit community will be key in the policies that have been enacted, and particularly the Opportunity Zone legislation. I had the opportunity to be able to work with the architects of the Economic Opportunity Zone legislation, John Latterie and Steve Glickman with EIG, and from the early days saw really a chance to be part of a policy that would bring traditional investors into the impact investing field. And the thing that I liked about the Opportunity Zone legislation was the focus on the distressed communities and the needs that were in those communities for investable opportunities and capital that would be motivated to invest there. I was fortunate to have some relationships in Congress and in the Senate and worked with Senator Hatch and Speaker Ryan in advocating the passage of the Opportunity Zone legislation and was thrilled to see that it was included in the Tax Reform Act at the end of last year. We're now in the process where the initial regs have been released by Treasury just this past week, and it's exciting to see the questions that were around this legislation start to be answered and pleased with kind of the preliminary read of the regulations that they appear to be investor-friendly and enable success of this legislation. I see a real need for a real holistic approach to investing in Opportunity Zones. It's not solely real estate and it's not solely entrepreneurs and business development. It's really going to be a combination that focuses on both of these areas as well as the gaps and the needs in the communities that relate to making these communities truly transform to more vibrant economically dynamic communities. This includes, of course, workforce development. It includes the right kind of housing and the right opportunities and support systems that will attract entrepreneurs and new businesses to be able to locate and thrive in Opportunity Zones. Today with us, I'm pleased to be able to introduce the one of the key architects, the co-founder of EIG, John Latieri, who's now the president of EIG, that can talk a little bit about what's ahead as it relates to the regulatory framework and the promise of Opportunity Zones and also Raj Shah with the Rockefeller Foundation, the president of the Rockefeller Foundation, that can talk about what philanthropy is doing in this very important area to make sure that this legislation achieves the promise that it does for these communities around the country.
