OCTOBER 2024
This October, Mission Partners hosted its 10th annual Mission Forward event, in partnership with The Chronicle of Philanthropy. Each fall, we gather some of the nation’s leading thinkers and doers in social impact, media, business, philanthropy, and civic engagement for conversations that connect dots, inspire action, and provoke change.
And this year, we invited you to join us.
On October 9, 2024, we gathered for a virtual half-day conference to explore how leaders across sectors are navigating changes, challenges, and opportunities, and we’ll bring wide-lens context to many of today’s most pressing issues.
The 2024 Mission Forward Leadership Summit included a series of impact talks and conversation labs on topics including:
We'll Look Back to Look Forward with The Chronicle of Philanthropy's Stacy Palmer
We'll Explore the Power of Mission to Help Navigate Business Challenges with B Lab Global’s Sarah Schwimmer
We'll Help You Identify and Address Election-Related Chaos Factors with Democracy Fund’s Joe Goldman and Crystal Hayling
We'll Talk Narrative Change and Wayfinding with Solutions Journalism Network’s Tina Rosenberg
We'll Explore the Power of Bridging Divides with JustFund’s Iara Peng and Interfaith America’s Eboo Patel
We'll Provide Guidance for Communicating Through Volatility with Hearken's Jennifer Brandel
And We'll Leave You with a Grounding Keynote by Legendary Peacebuilder Dr. John Paul Lederach
While all were welcome, this program was designed for foundation and nonprofit leaders, Board members, communications and advancement directors, B Corp and social impact leaders.
