Leading Inclusively
Agnes Binagwaho, Vice Chancellor of the University for Global Health Equity & Former Minister of Health for Rwanda, will set the stage by sharing her transformative leadership experiences in conversation with Author Pat Mitchell, Co-Founder of TEDWomen and ConnectedWomenLeaders—a cohort of women leaders across generations and geographies who convene to shape solutions to the global challenges of access to quality, affordable healthcare, food insecurity and the climate crisis.
Business organizations are instrumental in reshaping the world of work. Three leaders from nationally recognized companies — Michelle Gadsden Williams (BlackRock), Sue Lam (Coca Cola), and Bentina Chisolm Terry (Georgia Power) — will discuss through personal experiences how to create inclusive professional environments and transformative change.
Time and again, women’s leadership has been shown to be a crucial factor in improving lives, whether in education, economic development, or health. Director of International & Immigrant Affairs for the City of Atlanta, Vanessa Ibarra, joins the CEO of the Carter Center Paige Alexander on our campus to share how the leadership role in a public, non-profit organization can effect change in domestic and international arenas.
Global solutions require local action. For leadership to be effective, it takes leaders who have the courage to tackle issues seen in their own community. Gabrielle Claiborne, Soumaya Khalifa, and Dr. Gulshan Harjee will share their inspiring stories and enable attendees to connect with the initiatives spearheaded by these leaders.
Leadership is about mobilizing minds and connecting people. In the concluding keynote session, Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines, and Leocadia Zak, President of Agnes Scott College, will discuss inclusive leadership as it fosters innovation and shares productive examples of partnerships between industry and education.
