Please join us on Monday, September 21 in New York City for this evening of sharing ideas and experience about how to overcome global poverty.
We will also honor two people who exemplify what the evening stands for -- working together for the common good. The 2009 David Rockefeller Bridging Leadership Honorees are:
- Kofi Annan, Seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations
- Sheela Patel, Founder and Director, Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centres.
Started in 1997, University for a Night is a unique annual gathering of leaders from business, government, civil society and philanthropy. It offers an opportunity for people from diverse places, backgrounds and interests to learn from each other, to share experiences and ideas, and make connections that will help address issues of global poverty and equity.
Your contribution to University for a Night also provides direct support for Synergos’ work supporting leaders and partnerships to change the systems that keep people in poverty.
