NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

The global pandemic and the recent tragic killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks, and countless other Black Americans have disrupted our lives and organizations at a local and global level. While the current situation can be frightening, saddening, angering, challenging, and depleting, there are also clear signs of the potential for positive change and growth. We are all being challenged to unlock critical human-based resources such as hope, trust, commitment, creativity, courage, energy, and more in these very trying times.

Join us for a conversation with thought leaders on how to intentionally build possibilities for unlocking these kinds of resources that are so essential to organizational recovery, renewal and resilience – even when financial and material resources are constrained. Learn about current research, what examples have taught us, and how we can think more creatively about unlocking resources today that will fuel the growth and development of the organizations and communities about which we care so deeply.

Time: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM ET
