    CONCORDIA THE 2016 CONCORDIA SUMMIT REPORT PAGE HEADER TEXT A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDERS The 2016 Concordia Summit held on September 19th and 20th at the Grand Hyatt New York was our largest and most ambitious Summit to date, bringing together over 2,000 thought leaders from across sectors. We addressed a range of global challenges through the lens of partnerships. As a convenor, campaigner, and idea incubator, Concordia catalyzes action through shared- value approaches. Concordia not only promotes partnerships - we are actively building them through our Campaign series. At this year’s Summit, we explored partnership-based solutions to issues including labor trafficking, energy, migration, cancer research, food security, gender parity, and more. This report provides insight into the robust discussions held at the 2016 Summit and how Concordia will channel these conversations into concrete action through our Campaigns. It is our hope that key takeaways from the Summit and our work will inspire actors from across sectors to identify new avenues for collaboration. Concordia’s community is united by the common conviction that, together, we are greater than the sum of our parts. Only together can we tackle the challenges that face all of us.

  • Pooling Powers
    COLUMBIA LAW REVIEW VOL. 115 MARCH 2015 NO. 2 ARTICLE POOLING POWERS Daphna Renan* By “pooling” legal and other resources allocated to different agen- cies, the executive creates joint structures capable of ends that no single agency could otherwise achieve. Pooling destabilizes core conceptions of administrative law. According to one influential account, for example, Congress exercises control over the bureaucracy through agency design. Pooling, however, calls into question the stickiness of those initial struc- tural bargains. Through pooling, the executive reconfigures administra- tion from within. If pooling renegotiates boundaries inside the adminis- trative state, we might expect courts to actively police it. Yet judicial supervision, under current doctrines of administrative law, is quite spotty. Pooling can be a salutary response to administrative silos in our fast-changing and interconnected times. But pooling has a dark side. It can make administrative action less accountable and render legal safe- guards less resilient. The Article documents pooling across a range of policy domains, identifies its mechanisms, explores its structural and analytic implications, exposes legal questions that it raises, and pro- vides a preliminary normative assessment.
