This roundtable will dig into emerging best practices for tracking outcomes with more rigor and relevance\, and explore what it takes to shift an organization’s measurement culture in that direction.

Together\, we’ll unpack how peer organizations define and structure signature initiatives\, weigh the tradeoffs between external visibility and internal employee engagement\, and examine what a shift toward a portfolio model could look like in practice. \nThis will be a candid\, peer-to-peer exchange designed to surface a menu of options and a sharpened set of questions the Foundation can bring back to its leadership as they chart their next chapter. \nNationSwell’s Virtual Roundtables and Braintrusts are built for members who are actively working on the issue at hand — including senior leaders\, practitioners\, and subject-matter experts — making them our most accessible format.

Across the full arc of how energy is generated\, moved\, stored\, serviced\, and used — spanning utilities\, power generation\, advanced manufacturing\, fleet electrification\, data centers\, and industrial infrastructure — a persistent and structural challenge has emerged: the skilled trades and technician roles most critical to new energy infrastructure face serious and growing skills gaps\, and too often the employers\, training providers\, and talent leaders working to close them are doing so in isolation. \nNationSwell\, in partnership with Barclays\, LACI\, IYF\, Schneider Electric\, and Google is convening a working session at Brooklyn Army Terminal — home to BATWorks\, NYC’s emerging climate innovation hub — to change that. Bringing together talent leaders\, hiring managers\, and workforce training providers\, this in-person convening will use IYF’s proven industry competency framework to surface and validate the most critical skills gaps across the skilled trades workforce driving new energy infrastructure.  \nThe day will move from insight to action. The goal is a shared vocabulary and shared priorities that attendees can take back to their organizations\, and use to advocate for the training investments\, certifications\, and systems changes the new energy infrastructure demands. \nBATWorks offers a uniquely fitting backdrop: a place where growth-stage climate companies\, workforce development\, and hands-on innovation converge. Where employers are growing and talent supply can grow with them. \nAttendees will leave knowing they are not alone in this challenge — and with concrete\, validated priorities to guide the next steps. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Upcoming Events\n \n \n \n \n \n Check out the Institutional calendar to learn more about upcoming events.

In this NationSwell Braintrust\, we’ll explore how the Resiliency Hub in Pierce County is working to meet that need\, offering a new model for how community foundations can operate as intermediaries that translate data into action. \nHosted in partnership with Greater Tacoma Community Foundation\, this session will explore how Pierce County Washington\, is piloting an integrated\, data-driven approach to community resilience. We’ll examine how actionable\, verifiable data\, paired with cross-sector partnerships\, can inform more responsive decision-making and surface emerging needs in real time. \nFrom there\, the conversation will open to a broader discussion: how are other communities approaching this challenge\, where are similar models taking shape\, and what would it take to adapt or scale this work across different geographies and systems? Participants will be invited to react to the model\, share parallel efforts\, and explore opportunities for collaboration and partnership. \nIn doing so\, the session will also consider what it looks like to support and learn from place-based innovation in real time\, including how communities like Pierce County can serve as a proving ground for new approaches that others may engage with\, invest in\, or help bring to scale. \nThe goal is to both sharpen the Resiliency Hub strategy through peer insight and position Pierce County as a leading example of how place-based innovation can inform broader field-building and partnership opportunities. \nNationSwell’s Virtual Roundtables and Braintrusts are built for members who are actively working on the issue at hand — including senior leaders\, practitioners\, and subject-matter experts — making them our most accessible format.
