Today, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST, we’ll be posting content from the 18th Annual David N. Dinkins Leadership & Public Policy Forum. So bookmark this post, and check back later this morning for tweets, images, commentary and speech excerpts from the event.
Why should you tune in? Well, for the past 20 years, this annual forum has addressed many of the challenging issues including education, the environment, labor, tourism, immigration and fiscal crises that successful and urban ecosystems must contend with. It’s named for the 106th Mayor of the nation’s largest city and the first African American Mayor elected in New York City, the David N. Dinkins Leadership & Public Policy Forum provides a vehicle for analysis, focus and dialogue around the dynamic elements of urban policies, programs, and initiatives.
And, oh yeah, Hillary Rodham Clinton, 67th United States Secretary of State; Former United States Senator from New York, will be giving the keynote address. (So check back here at 9:30 a.m. for the latest coverage, and go here to watch the Forum LIVE.)
