David Gonski AO in Conversation with Helen Trinca
'The New Philanthropic Professionalism'

Wednesday 18 October 06

Philanthropy in the professional world is only set to grow. Helen Trinca engaged David in an engaging discussion on what he sees as the big trends around philanthropy. David presented views on how the government and philanthropy play complementary roles in the servicing of our society and environment. He reminded us that it is not the role of the corporation to provide financial philanthropy, but they may provide leadership in enabling their stakeholders to do so.
