Investment as a Catalyst for Community Partnership

Join us for a dynamic lecture on infrastructure investment and its powerful role in community partnership. This session will explore how investments in essential systems—such as energy, water, and transportation—can be designed to do more than generate returns. By aligning private capital with public good, infrastructure investment can become a catalyst for meaningful community development, economic mobility, and long-term sustainability.

We are excited to welcome Julius Bedford, Managing Director at BCP, as our featured speaker. With a career spanning top investment firms such as Rockland Capital and Barclays, Julius brings deep expertise in the power and utilities sector and a unique perspective on the intersection of finance and community impact. He currently serves on the boards of National Water Infrastructure and Junior Achievement of Greater Baton Rouge, underscoring his commitment to civic engagement and the future of regional development.

During this lecture, Julius will share insights from his work in infrastructure investment, offer real-world examples of successful public-private partnerships, and discuss strategies for using capital as a tool for community betterment. Whether you’re in the nonprofit, public, or private sector, this session will offer valuable takeaways on building trust, aligning missions, and maximizing impact through thoughtful investment.
