Experience some of the best thought leaders in the business right here in West Michigan. The Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy’s Strategic Leadership Series engages nonprofit professionals and the larger philanthropic community to encourage the development of a diverse, equitable, local ecosystem that supports entrepreneurialism when addressing critical social issues. These experiences will infuse our region with fresh thinking on the power and potential of nonprofits to be catalysts for change.
The movement toward localism today is stronger than ever. More people are buying locally, producing regionally and investing in small local efforts. And yet multinational corporations and global institutions continue to control a disproportionate share of our economies and lives.
Join special guest speaker Deborah Frieze as she explores the underlying beliefs in our culture that continue to prop up the global mindset and shares a radical theory of change that reveals how localism is the hope of the future. Through the stories of social entrepreneurs who unleashed their creative capacity in their own communities, we’ll discover how each of us has the potential to transform our world. Strategic Leadership Series Host Dennis McMillian will also join us to close out the series
