The Distinguished Speakers Series provides a venue for leaders from different vantage points – policymakers, foundation executives, and philanthropists – to share their views on philanthropy and public policy, stimulating a conversation about the changes occurring in philanthropy and the implications for public problem solving.

The Conversations on Philanthropy Series brings together key thinkers and decision makers from philanthropy, nonprofit organizations, government, business and the academic community and an intimate discussion to consider the role of philanthropy in addressing specific challenges facing our communities.
