Reception | Celebrating Activist Women
Susan Santiago, Michael Milken, Shaun Robinson, Cher, John McArthur, Karen Weaver, Gary White, Katie O'Reilly
Hosted by Hyatt's first female SVP of Operations for the Americas, Susan Santiago, this Milken Family Foundation-sponsored event united activists like actress Cher, Flint Mayor Karen Weaver, and industry experts to address the U.S. water infrastructure crisis. The panel revealed that approximately 7.3 million lead service lines remain nationwide, costing taxpayers roughly $10 monthly per family to replace, while highlighting the human failures and systemic neglect that drove the Flint tragedy. Participants emphasized that achieving universal clean water access by 2030 requires sustained public funding, strict regulation of private partnerships, and civic pressure to prioritize maintenance over reactive crisis management.

Investing in Sustainable Development
John McArthur, Reyaz Ahmad, Christopher Ailman, Aimée Christensen, David Rae, Michael Perkins, Chris
Leading institutional investors and development finance experts convened to argue that shifting from moral to economic imperatives is essential for mobilizing the estimated $5 to $7 trillion annually needed to fund global sustainable development. Panelists including Christopher Ailman, David Ray, and representatives from CalSTRS and the IFC discussed specific strategies such as carbon pricing, blended capital, and SASB-standardized metrics to navigate regulatory uncertainty and scale infrastructure in energy, transport, and agriculture. The consensus emphasized that achieving these goals requires integrating sustainability into core business models rather than treating it as corporate social responsibility, ultimately aiming to stabilize long-term capital flows through predictable policy frameworks and transparent risk management.
