Matthew Purkey will build on the insights from the “A Better Way” CEO Panel by showing how the same principles of purpose-driven leadership and operational excellence can transform lives and communities. As President & CEO of Josiah White's Organization, Purkey will introduce the Youth Providence Fund, a bold new initiative designed to give at-risk youth the structure, support, and opportunities needed to thrive.

This session will explore:

• How aligning mission with disciplined execution creates scalable social impact.
• How the Youth Providence Fund is building collaborative pathways with business, education, and government partners.
• Why investing in youth development strengthens the future workforce and community resilience.

Attendees will be inspired to see that “a better way” isn’t just a business philosophy—it’s a call to action that can reshape entire ecosystems. Purkey will invite the LightX community to be part of a movement where opportunity, operational rigor, and shared purpose change lives at scale.
