The B Corp Banking Model – A Viable Framework for Sustainable Banking and Regenerative Business Practices. Please join us to hear from special guest speaker Lynne Marie Auzenne from Beneficial State Bank. Businesses, including banks, make bold and impressive claims when it comes to their commitments to our communities and the planet. Greenwashing pays as consumers, particularly Gen Z, make decisions based on the ethos of businesses. We need to raise the bar for green marketing integrity. How can sustainable and ethical banking, and all business for that matter, credibly differentiate and signal trustworthiness and deep commitment to green practices? One model has been tested and adopted by over 6,000 businesses in more than 80 countries – B Lab’s Impact Assessment. We’ll explore this growing movement and how B Lab’s resources can be leveraged for almost any business to be greener and to communicate their commitment to people and the planet in context and with credibility.

JSC expects to draw over 150 attendees at 2340 East 8th St. National City CA 91950. Admission is free to all senior community members. Founded by local San Diegan Angel Ogapong, JSC aims to provide seniors with a sense of belonging through community, engagement, education and health and wellness. San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan will speak on the Safe Seniors Program against elder abuse at the event. National City Mayor Ron Morrison and Chula Vista Mayor John McCann will also be present to discuss the importance of proactively engaging seniors. “I was the primary caretaker for my grandparents, and as they got older I saw how much their daily lives and overall health were affected by lack of engagement and community,” said JSC Founder Angel Ogapong. “I decided to launch JSC to alleviate the disengagement seniors were experiencing while educating them about free resources that are not only available to them, but created for them.” JSC also helps seniors navigate through Medicare benefits and bridge access to additional resources that they may not know are available to them at no cost. Medicare health insurance representatives will be present to educate seniors about benefiting programs. Community partners American Medical Response and SuiteCare Pharmacy will provide free healthcare screenings for attendees. Supporting nonprofits including Filipino American Chamber of Commerce Greater San Diego and the National Latina Business Women Association San Diego will be at the event.
