AGENDA

TRACK ONE: I AM THE CHANGE

We are living in a new day of grassroots uprising as it relates to political, racial and community issues. Our uprising is strategic, aspirational and multifaceted. Join this track to learn how change happens right now and how you can play an integral role. We’ll discuss how to best leverage our organizing and civic leadership in this track.

TRACK TWO: I AM YOUNG, BLACK & POLITICAL

Think politics is only for the politicians? Think again. Today’s young, black philanthropists and civic leaders engage the political realm through our giving, community engagement and even our use of technology. We’ll talk about the impact of philanthropy in training for campaign building, supporting black candidates and moving meaningful policy forward that benefits our communities.

About

Changing the Face of Philanthropy Summit

Since 2013, the Changing the Face of Philanthropy Summit has led one hundred dynamic, passionate and civic-minded professionals to greater heights of philanthropy and civic engagement. Our one-of-a-kind convening allows young, black professionals to gain knowledge and build relationships that will help them take on  leading roles as community problem solvers. 

 

The 2018 Summit brings to the forefront opportunities to explore solutions for black communities through two focus areas: I Am Young, Black & Political and I Am the Change. Cohort members will select one track upon registration and attend the session that will help to stretch and grow them in their respective area.

Final Remarks

Keynote Speaker

The Honorable Randall L. Woodfin, Esq.

Mayor of the City of Birmingham

Randall L. Woodfin was sworn in as the 30th mayor of Birmingham, Alabama on Nov. 28, 2017.

 

A native of Birmingham and graduate of Cumberland School of Law, Mayor Woodfin is an attorney and former president of the Birmingham Board of Education. Throughout his career, he has worked in various positions for the City of Birmingham, which is why he’s committed to bringing a new vision, a new dedication and a new energy to a city where he wants citizens to have every opportunity to work, play and grow to their fullest potential.

 

His dedication to his hometown and to others developed when he was 15 while working as a bagger at a supermarket in Birmingham. It was at the supermarket where Mayor Woodfin learned the importance of “Putting People First,” a concept he carried on to Morehouse College, then to law school and finally into his career. Today, that slogan is at the core of his administration.

 

But those words are more than a slogan or theme. They are a strategy. They represent how Mayor Woodfin does business to bring the best out of and to Birmingham.In order to make Birmingham a laboratory for progress, the mayor is working to bring improvements to economic development, neighborhood revitalization, education/career opportunities for students, the city’s 99 neighborhoods and crime.

 

He recently announced a crime-fighting plan to put more police officers on the streets; implemented a customer service program to improve relations with the public and boost employee morale; increased the city’s messages through various media and social media platforms; and hired a team of talented people to focus on workforce development, small business growth and civic innovation.

Horace Williams II

Although Horace’s career has been comprised primarily of playing key roles in start-ups, aiding the evolution of B2B social technology, and creating user experiences (that have been successfully used by thousands of end-users), it was in Horace’s personal life that he developed his civic accountability and political awareness.

 

Horace is passionate about the business of politics, and through Empowrd, seeks to simplify its operations for all people. With Empowrd, Horace is providing the opportunity to participate in government in an effective way that helps users yield the kind of results they have always desired from civic engagement but could never achieve.​​
