For the second year, VeraCloud is invited to participate in the annual Clinton Global Initiative America meeting (CGI America), held this year in Atlanta and keynoted by two former US Presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. At CGI America, VeraCloud participates in a select Working Group on Small and Medium Enterprises, and meets with mayors, Cabinet-level secretaries, and other leaders across sectors to discuss how our technology solutions can help unlock economic opportunities for individuals and communities by supporting Minority, Women, Disadvantaged, and Veteran-owned businesses. We're actively engaged in CGI's efforts to transform communities, pioneer best practices, deliver tools that fuel economic access and jobs, and collaborate with other change agents to drive measurable impact around issues of diversity, access, and inclusion across the US.
CGI America brings together leaders in business, philanthropy, government, and nonprofits to develop solutions that encourage continued economic growth, support long-term competitiveness, and increase social mobility in the United States. Since the first meeting in 2011, CGI America participants have made nearly 600 Commitments to Action, which have improved the lives of more than 4.9 million people.
