OUR FUTURE OPPORTUNITY: PHILANTHROPY LEADING TOGETHER<br />
TUESDAY, APRIL 28 | 11:30 A.M. - 1:00 P.M.<br />
In the face of complex challenges around the globe and in our local communities, philanthropy’s future can be defined today<br />
by how it chooses to lead as a collective. As individuals, philanthropists play a range of roles beyond funder to influence<br />
change, share ideas, connect people, and build bridges. As a collective, our future must be one that aggregates our diverse<br />
perspectives, resources, strengths and unique savvy for a common purpose. Join us in an honest conversation between two<br />
national leaders, Speaker Newt Gingrich and Van Jones as they share their experiences working together across differences<br />
to create a better society for all. These two CNN Crossfire Hosts will engage in an open dialogue and challenge our thinking<br />
around alliances and partnerships for the greater good.<br />
