This Saturday, April 3, New York University is holding its annual, free, All University Dialogue, this year called Toward Securing the Global Village.
OK, I'm unclear on what "securing the global village" means, but the particular panel I plan to attend is "Media: A Conduit for Social Progress," at 3 p.m. Panelists include Fred Fields of the Taproot Foundation and Sandi Abadinsky of the Enterprise Foundation, two right-on foundations supporting community-based nonprofits, and I hear that dk holland, a guru on branding for nonprofits, may attend.
Local folks wondering just what the heck a successful bid for the 2012 Olympics might mean to the area will want to check out the 11 a.m. panel on "NYC 2012 Cultural and Economic Implications." Olympics are economic and cultural drivers worldwide--wouldn't it be interesting if they could be Worldchanging events instead of resource pits? In NYC, two huge, neighborhood-leveling stadium bids are currently in play, important subway extensions may hinge on related funding, and let's not even talk about the "security" issues.
