Clinton School students, Abby Olivier, Kayla Brooks, Jessica Boyd, Josh Visnaw, Tyler Pearson, and Ashley Jones, are attending the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting this week in New York. Through a variety of sessions, speeches and events, leaders from across sectors will develop new ideas and partnerships, learn from their peers, and take action.
Speakers for the 2013 annual meeting include President Bill Clinton, Secretary Hilary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates, and Bono, among many others.
This year’s CGI theme, Mobilizing For Impact, explores ways that CGI members and member organizations can be more effective in leveraging individuals, partner organizations, and key resources in their commitment efforts.
Sessions during the week include plenary sessions, which bring together key leaders to discuss methods from different perspectives for addressing global challenges, small group discussions that are more in-depth conversations intended to maximize impact, and breakout sessions, such as designing ideas, commitment case studies, pitches, and conversations.
