INP warmly welcomes Shawn Dove–acclaimed visionary, organizer, and co-author of I Too Am America: On Loving and Leading Black Men & Boys–to our Leadership Learning Series.

Shawn is a trailblazer who co-curates New Profit’s efforts to bring together a multiracial, intergenerational, cross-sector coalition pursuing a new era of justice, opportunity, trust, and collaboration in America. His work successfully merges community building with philanthropy, leveraging a diversity of funds and networks to fuel organizations that invest in under-resourced communities.

Drawing on his extensive experience–including spearheading the Campaign for Black Male Achievement, launched at the Open Society Foundations, which leveraged over $320 million in funding and built a national movement of over 3,000 organizations, and his role as key advisor for President Barack Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative–Shawn will impart proven insights on breaking down silos to advance collective progress, while realizing systemic transformation and personal growth.

Shawn’s presentation is more than a mere lecture; it is an inspirational, interactive masterclass on the craft of movement-building and resource mobilization for the greater good. You’ll discover how to develop genuine cross-sector partnerships that spur lasting community impact. Look no further than this session for inspiration on optimizing teamwork to achieve your calling as a leader.
