Join us for the Fifth Annual Crossroads Speaker Series featuring Jennifer Flynn Dear, Managing Director, Corporate Affairs at KPMG LLP. She will engage in a lively dialogue with moderator, Sherry Magee, Senior Director at KPMG LLP focusing on the intersection of business and philanthropy. This annual event spotlights the impact corporate leadership can create for those who live and work in their communities – and the important strategic goals that can be accomplished through partnership with nonprofit organizations. 

With over 25 years at KPMG, Jennifer Flynn Dear has held various leadership roles within the firm focused on relationship and brand building programs, corporate social responsibility efforts and effective communications platforms. Currently, Jennifer leads initiatives to support the firm’s growth priorities, brand, and reputation with a focus on community vitality, and college and career readiness.

The Crossroads Speaker Series is one example of how Dr. Phillips Charities and UCF work in partnership to improve our educational programming and the health and vitality of downtown Orlando, Central Florida and beyond.
