This Spring, The Salon explores the relationship between Philadelphia and its institutions of higher education, with a focus on the resilience required by each to thrive during changing times.
The June conversation will focus on the Town/Gown Workforce and Economic Dynamic with guest Deborah Diamond.
The Salon is held in the DuBarry Conference Room.
As director of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve’s Anchor Economy Initiative, Deborah Diamond helps the expansive eds and meds sectors of the Third District leverage their talent and resources to build a thriving regional economy. Before joining the Bank, Deborah led Campus Philly, an economic development nonprofit that pioneered a now national model for engaging and retaining recent graduates in the cities where they studied. In this work, Deborah developed skill in connecting higher education partners with current employment needs and trends, and she has experience in helping regional colleges and universities collaborate effectively. She also built a 50-city national learning network called Young Smart and Local, dedicated to sharing best practices and successful strategies for talent cultivation and retention. Deborah’s work spans communities across the U.S. and has allowed her to gain unique insights into the needs of diverse employers and universities in sustaining local economies.
