2021 marks the 40th anniversary of the Young Leaders program, which was inaugurated in 1981 and has since cultivated an impressive alumni community.
To celebrate this anniversary and the many achievements of our alumni, the Foundation and a newly-formed 40th anniversary alumni committee are planning a number of in-person and virtual activities throughout the year. From public webinars and interviews featuring accomplished alumni and private gatherings of our Young Leaders Café series, to eventual meetings in New York, Washington, DC, and other cities, our events will help our community share in its successes and continue contributing to dialogue that works toward shared solutions. Our year will culminate with a Young Leaders seminar in Paris, where, in partnership with our sister Foundation in France, we will welcome the current classes of Young Leaders and enjoy an evening of celebration open to alumni.
We look forward to keeping you up to date on these exciting activities throughout the year, and hope you will join us!
