At the September SBCTA Board meeting, Directors received a presentation from Steve Lambert of The 20/20 Network, an Inland Empire (IE) based communications firm. Mr. Lambert outlined a new initiative to support the IE based on non-profit organizations.
The IE has long lived in the shadows of its coastal neighbors to the west, struggling to establish its own identity and, more often than not, falling short when it comes to securing outside support and investment. The IE’s nonprofit community has been particularly hard hit, lagging significantly behind the rest of California when it comes to philanthropic investment.
