About

Location information will be provided in a separate email once your registration has been confirmed.

The American dream, often associated with financial success and personal fulfillment, is fundamentally linked to social and economic mobility. Yet, achieving mobility in America is complex and challenging. In our discussion, we will explore the critical roles that education, cultural influences, policy-making, and social networks play in shaping success in America.
 
 
We will also explore the role that nonprofits play in providing essential services to those that need it most, how nonprofits have taken on this role in America, and the implications of this reality. As part of this discussion, we will tour the Cradle to Crayons facility and learn about the essential services they provide to the community.
 
 
Most importantly, this dialogue will intertwine with our personal narratives. We will reflect on the people, policies, resources, and experiences that have impacted our own lives and careers. By doing so, we aim to explore how our individual stories are intertwined with broader mobility trends. This personal perspective promises to provide invaluable insights, showcasing how the lives we’ve lived, the lessons we’ve learned, and the challenges we’ve overcome can teach us broader lessons about mobility in America.
 
 

Light bites and refreshments will be provided.
