Trump Appoints Marie Louise Hurabiell, Esq to the Presidio Trust Board of Directors Presidio of San Francisco (March 28, 2018) – The White House has announced the appointment of San Francisco resident Marie Louise Hurabiell, Esq to the Presidio Trust Board of Directors. Marie Hurabiell, an eighth generation San Franciscan, is a founder and board member of Ellipsis Health, Inc., a technology company using speech analytics to gauge the behavioral health of patients in real-time. Following a federal clerkship in Los Angeles, she started her law career at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom in San Francisco. She later served as General Counsel at both Knight Ridder Digital and Red Herring Communications, and later ran her own law firm. Ms. Hurabiell has led fundraising efforts for organizations such as Georgetown University, San Francisco Ballet, Wender Weis Foundation for Children, The Hamlin School, and the International Museum of Women. Hurabiell fills the seat to be vacated by outgoing vice chair Janet Reilly, who was appointed to the Board by President Barack Obama in 2015. Reilly is active in the community, serving on multiple boards such as Clinic by the Bay, San Domenico School, and the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District. As a Presidio Trust board member, she contributed to milestone projects such as the opening of the new Presidio Visitor Center in February 2017. “We warmly welcome Marie to the board,” says Jean Fraser, Presidio Trust CEO. “She is deeply committed to the Presidio as an eighth-generation San Franciscan who has frequented the Presidio both while it was a military post and now as a national park. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Janet Reilly, who was such a champion of ensuring that the Presidio is a national park welcoming to all.” “I am thrilled to join the board of the Presidio Trust,” notes Marie Hurabiell. “The transformation of the Presidio from a military post to a beautiful national park used by millions of people every year has been wonderful to experience. I have such happy memories here, so it is a true honor to help the Presidio Trust move forward with its goals of being a model of environmental stewardship and actively encouraging people of all backgrounds to visit this magnificent national park.” Ms. Hurabiell has served on numerous boards of trustees, including the Georgetown University Board of Regents, where she engaged in crafting the successful Design Curriculum initiative; Holy Family Day Home (President); San Francisco Ballet Auxiliary (President); National Charity League Golden Gate Chapter (VP); and Hamilton Family Center. Hurabiell received her B.A. with Honors from Georgetown University and her J.D. with Honors from the University of Pennsylvania. She grew up enjoying the Presidio and continues to spend time in the Presidio daily - running and playing with her fiancée and two children.

Blank outlines a thorough checklist of questions and analysis helpful to any new enterprise leader, and offers insight and case studies from industry giants and new technology plays alike. Transcript Today I have a very special pleasure of introducing our guest, Steve Blank. Now you've probably seen Steve Blank in here before because he is on our faculty, but he is going to be playing a very different role today. He is going to be giving us a recap of all of the speakers who have been here this quarter. And he is going to compare and contrast the different industries, the different entrepreneurs and give you some insights about all of these events and these topics that we've heard about this quarter. Steve has a very unique perspective on being able to tell us about this. Because he is a serial entrepreneur for the last 28 years, he has been involved with starting eight companies.

    Facebook: A Like Story Why investors shouldn’t fall in love Edited by Jeffrey Goldfarb and Robert Cyran Cover design by Troy Dunkley 2 CONTENTS Preface ……………………….………. 4 The present ……………………….. 6 The past ………………………….… 14 Early days ……………………….…. 15 Growing up …………………….…. 22 Proud parents ……………….….. 32 The Future ………………………... 36 3 PREFACE WELL-FLAGGED - Facebook and its Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg have raised some red flags for investors, including how the switch to mobile could be a big problem. REUTERS/Jim Young Facebook’s initial public offering is the seminal event of the capital markets in 2012. Breakingviews has followed the social network’s growth in analytical fashion since soon after it started in Mark Zuckerberg’s Harvard University dorm room in 2004. We’ve compiled a selection of some two dozen of these incisive stories to illustrate Facebook’s trajectory and increasing importance , from its origins as a site used by college students to a business with approaching a billion users and, after its IPO, potentially worth more than $100 billion. 4 “Facebook: A Like Story” kicks off with a timely, pertinent piece on how governments, rival businesses and Wall Street have become financially dependent on Facebook’s debut. The book also contains a handy number-cruncher - accompanied by an interactive calculator - that allows investors to value Facebook’s stock and see what assumptions are needed to reach the company’s indicated price of between $28 and $35 a share. Moving further back the company’s own timeline, the chapter entitled “The Past” explores how Facebook forged its path to domination in social media, often seemingly by the seat of its pants.

AUTHOR VERSION “Connecting the World Through Games”: Creating Shared Value in the Case of Zynga’s Corporate Social Strategy Laura P. Hartman DePaul University, USA Jenny Mead University of Virginia, USA Patricia H. Werhane DePaul University, USA Danielle Christmas University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Abstract. When using cases to teach corporate strategy and ethical decision-making, the aim is to demonstrate to students that leadership decision-making is at its most effective when all affected stakeholders are considered, from shareholders and employees, to the local, national, and global societies in which the company operates. This paper challenges the obstructive perception of many Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) advocates that the interests of private organizations in the alleviation of social problems should not be vested, but instead should originate from charitable purposes. We evaluate an alternative approach to the role of business in contributing to social progress - Creating Shared Value (CSV), and present a case study that illuminates key features of CSV. We share pedagogical strategies for a classroom discussion of the Zynga.org case that encourage students to investigate the merits and hurdles of CSV as a pathway to harmonize the twin goals of economic value creation and social change.
