Disruptive Demographics: Challenges and Opportunities for the Greater Washington Region's Philanthropic Community
The 2010 census data has made one thing clear: the demographics of our region are rapidly changing. But what does this really mean for the region, and what is the implication of these changes for philanthropy? This program will serve as a follow-up to the demographic overview of the Greater Washington region presented by Dr. Johnson at the 2011 annual meeting. By taking time to delve more deeply into 2010 census data and trends, participants will gain a richer understanding of the impact of demographic change on our region, and how the funding and nonprofit community can effectively respond to ensure that the needs of everyone in the region are addressed appropriately.

ABOUT DR. JOHNSON
Jim Johnson is the Director of the Urban Investment Strategies Center at the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where he specializes in entrepreneurship, diversity, and sustainable community development, and researches the impact of demographic change on regional economies. He is the co-author of the report, “Six Disruptive Demographic Trends: What Census 2010 Will Reveal.”
