All levels and sectors of society must be willing to cast away failed methods, embrace new behaviors and step into a possibility that invites and facilitates progress. Today, more than ever, our actions will impact future generations for years to come.

Together, we can chart a better path forward.

The event is FREE for nonprofits and by invitation only.
