Go Run

Let’s Change the Face of Leadership

It’s Time… for new voices, new ideas, new results. It’s time for a culture that looks and feels and acts differently—fluid, flexible, expansive and engaged, vital and infinitely various. It’s time for a national conversation that is richly diverse and genuinely representative. It’s time for a nation that responds to challenges by drawing on the strength and wisdom of all its people, women and men.

In 2007, The White House Project is traveling to cities and towns across America to change the face of leadership, and bring more women leaders into the pipeline. Only by creating a critical mass of women leaders in all seats of power, from the boardroom to the statehouse, will we create needed change. We can change old habits by individually and collectively rewriting the definition of “leader� and putting a woman’s face on it.

Bringing new faces to the leadership table is not only the right thing to do, it’s the only thing to do.

Policy Links

Minnesota Policy Soup's manifesto states:

Minnesota Policy Soup is an attempt to make sense of the fragmented policy information infrastructure in Minnesota. Who provides policy research? Where can it be found? How successfully are policy research organizations inserting their information into the public debate?

The "Executive Chef" for the site is David Curle, who just happens to be a degree candidate in the HHH Institute's MPA program.

Cultural Commons is a virtual commons created by the Center for Art and Culture in Washington. They seek "to attract new interest and new thinking about arts and cultural issues, engage a broad and diverse constituency in a lively exchange of ideas, and provide resources and ideas for further involvement -- such as event participation, employment in the cultural policy sector, research, or even new partnerships for organizations."
