2024 LFW Global Leadership Summit
Black Men in Global Leadership: Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders
February 29, 2024 | 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Join Leaders of the Free World for an enriching virtual panel discussion that delves into the intersections of Black men and global leadership. Our esteemed panelists will share insights, opportunities, experiences, and the keys to success in navigating the global leadership landscape.
This 90-minute interactive session will explore global career pathways, language acquisition, fellowships, and other resources and funding opportunities. The event will include breakout groups for students "getting started" in their global leadership journey and students who have already taken the first step. Our accomplished panelists will share their experiences, offer advice, and answer questions on building a global leadership resume.
This event promises to be an excellent opportunity for students to learn how to become the next generation of global leaders.
Leaders of the Free World (LFW) aims to provide international experiences and foster leadership development opportunities for young Black men. Our goal is to bring more diversity to the global leadership landscape, which currently lacks representation from Black men. Our mission is to develop leaders who are globally-minded, self-aware, and service-driven and pave the way for a more inclusive leadership landscape.
Cosponsored by LFW in collaboration with the IIE Center for Access and Equity and the Association of Professional Schools for International Affairs
