One of the four pillars of The Fresno Center is education, and our President & CEO, Pao Yang, truly embodies this mission. Recently, Pao had the pleasure of presenting to economics majors at Fresno State where he shared his expertise on the economics of nonprofit and community development.

His talk was met with enthusiasm and curiosity, sparking meaningful discussions on how nonprofits drive economic and social impact in our community. In appreciation of his insights, the students presented Pao with a thoughtful token of gratitude—a moment that reflects the power of connection between community leaders and future changemakers.
