About the Event
Retail has long been one of the most influential industries in the United States. Currently the retail industry employs more than 15 million people, and even with economic changes, such as the rise of online shopping, it is projected to continue growing. Because it employs such a large portion of the American workforce, even small changes in the retail industry have immense potential to help expand opportunities for low- and moderate-income workers. What can the retail industry, related industries, nonprofits, philanthropy, and other members of the private sector do to enhance economic opportunities?
We are pleased to invite you to an afternoon discussion with Kathleen McLaughlin, chief sustainability officer of Walmart and president of the Walmart Foundation, and Walter Isaacson, president and CEO of the Aspen Institute. They will explore the private sector’s role in expanding economic opportunities for frontline workers. The discussion will be held in the Aspen Institute offices in Washington, DC, and followed by an evening reception.
