Experience
Strategic Partnerships
Feb 2026 — Present
We are a community of thought leaders, journalists, commentary writers and activists who proactively share our skills, knowledge and connections across color, creed, class, age, ability, gender, orientation, and beyond. Through our programs we elevate the ideas and knowledge of underrepresented expert voices, including women, and to accelerate solutions to the world’s biggest problems-problems that cannot be solved justly or sustainably without a diversity of voices, expertise, experience and identity. We have stunning results. We believe the best ideas, regardless of where they come from, should have a chance to be heard and to change the world.
