Keynote Presentation: A Future Undivided: Philanthropy, Togetherness and Justice
Philanthropy has always played a major role in American History, yet, "Philanthropy is not always a friend to equality; it can be indifferent to equality and sometimes a cause of inequality …" [ii] The time is upon all of us to assert our leadership and advance conversations and actions on how the nonprofit sector can remain responsive and accountable to the communities we serve. Join us for a special keynote presentation by engineer, education activist, science and technology policy scholar, Dr. Kamau Bobb as he discusses the role that philanthropy plays in social cohesion and justice in a divided society. Dr. Bobb will create a case of support for a new vision for the future; highlight the risks of current social, racial, economic and environmental injustices and share a practical framework that philanthropy can use to build bridges for a brighter and more equitable tomorrow.
