Robert Putnam, keynote speaker
• Hear from lunch keynote speaker Robert Putnam, Harvard professor, on the growing class gap among young Americans. Robert Putnam is a professor of Public Policy at Harvard University. He has written fourteen books, and consults widely with national leaders including the last three American presidents, the last three British prime ministers, and the last French president. Check out his segment on CBS news below: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/still-believing-in-the-american-dream
• Receive a complimentary copy of Robert Putnam’s book, “Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis.” Read the book’s praise from William Julius Wilson, Professor, Harvard University:
“Robert D. Putnam vividly captures a dynamic change in American society–the widening class-based opportunity gap among young people. The diminishing life chances of lower-class families and the expanding resources of the upper-class are contrasted in sharp relief in Our Kids, which also includes compelling suggestions of what we as a nation should do about this trend. Putnam’s new book is a must-read for all Americans concerned about the future of our children.”
• Connect with exhibitors and other nonprofit leaders during a networking reception. At the end of the day, you’ll have the opportunity to network with other leaders working towards a Thriving Missouri. The networking reception will include light refreshments, and you’ll have the opportunity to win giveaways from the conference exhibitors and sponsors.
