"All the good that has been engineered on this earth for me, you, and our communities is rooted in arm-to-arm collaboration of leaders and thought-provokers from the around world, coming together to make change. While our stories will be different, we share the same destiny-- a brighter future for our kids, grandchildren and future generations to come."
