Students Shoulder-to-Shoulder (SStS) and the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business announced today that tickets are on sale for the 2019 Global Solutions Forum, an intimate gathering of business, nonprofit and education leaders aimed to inspire and support ethical leadership.
This year’s theme is “Ethical Leadership with Impact: Cross-sector Collaboration for Social Good.” With special focus on the four key sectors of business, education, philanthropy and nonprofit, the Forum will present speakers and topics that address what it means to apply ethical practices authentically, as well as the importance of encouraging collaboration among individuals, organizations and businesses that can achieve impact and deliver measurable change.
“The practice of ethics is increasingly becoming integral to education, government and social spheres as discussions on ‘corporate social responsibility,’ ‘inclusion,’ and ‘business for good’ have become commonplace,” says Rosanna Garcia, endowed chair of entrepreneurship at the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business. “As the practice of ethical leadership is the foundation of our mission at the College, we are thrilled to be partnering with Students Shoulder-to-Shoulder to explore the benefits and challenges of ethics in society today.”
Speakers confirmed to date include:
- Andy Fleming, co-author, “An Everyone Culture” and CEO at Way to Grow INC
- Daniela Papi-Thorton, author, “Learning Service” and former deputy director of the Skoll Centre
- Michael Burroughs, co-author, “Philosophy in Education” and director, Kegley Institute of Ethics
- Alejandra Arias-Stella, executive director, Llama Pack Project (Peru)
- Karambu Ringera, executive director, International Peace Initiatives (Kenya)
- Emily Talentino, executive director, Give and Surf (Panama)
Attendees can expect to walk away from the conference with tangible examples and concepts related to ethical leadership’s impact. Experts in building inclusive organizational cultures and understanding the power of systems learning will expand thinking of social good as an inclusive effort, throughout organizations and across sectors. A full schedule of topics and speakers will be announced as the Forum date approaches.
“Students Shoulder-to-Shoulder’s own organizational model is a shared-value partnership across four major sectors in our society,” says Bob Bandoni, executive director for Students Shoulder-to-Shoulder. “The global impact of SStS is made possible, as is this Forum, by this model. All of our partners want to contribute to the social good. We can do so through the synergy of working together, by gathering in an inspirational setting and with programming informed by experts in their fields.”
The Global Solutions Forum is targeted toward leaders and aspiring leaders in business, education and nonprofits. Young professionals and students in particular are encouraged to attend, walking away from the three-day conference with inspiration, a supportive network and actionable takeaways for making an impactful difference in society via ethical leadership practices.
The Forum will be held Oct. 23-25 in Vail, Colorado. Tickets to the 2019 Global Solutions Forum are on sale now. For tickets and more information, visit: https://shouldertoshoulder.com/2019gsf/
