Many corporate social impact and CSR teams work closely with colleagues across the business, yet collaboration with government affairs and policy teams can feel especially complex. Organizational structures, timelines, and risk considerations do not always align, but strong partnership is increasingly essential.
In this Topical Member Discussion, we will hear from Kim Allman, Head of Corporate Responsibility & Government Affairs at GenDigital. Kim will share how her CSR work is embedded within a government affairs function, and what that structure enables in terms of influence, alignment, and impact.
Kim will offer practical insights and best practices for collaborating with government affairs and policy teams, particularly for members whose CSR, social impact, or sustainability roles sit elsewhere in their organizations. The conversation will explore how to build trust, navigate differing priorities, and identify opportunities for shared goals.
As always, this will be an informal, peer-to-peer discussion with plenty of space for member questions, shared experiences, and candid conversation. Participants are encouraged to bring their own challenges, successes, and lessons learned to the discussion.
