In the wake of social justice protests and demonstrations, many expect that the corporate landscape will finally be transformed into a more equitable experience for all of its participants. Unfortunately, traditional corporate diversity efforts have fallen short in delivering on this expectation. Can we reasonably rely on Corporate America to get it right this time? With the arrival of the Multicultural Mainstream, a new economy largely driven by a society that is more inclusive, more Black, more Brown, more Female, and more Dispersed, so too has come the time for a new way of thinking about corporate diversity initiatives. This thought-provoking discussion will explore the traditional approaches undertaken by America’s corporations, challenge conventional wisdom, and present new perspectives for how corporations can play a meaningful and constructive role in bringing about equitable and lasting change. William Crowder, Early Stage VC and Corporate Diversity & Inclusion Specialist William Crowder is a founding partner at Aperture Venture Capital, a diversity-focused venture fund backed by the world’s leading corporations and fund investors. Over the past decade, William has established himself as an investing pioneer and has built diversity investing platforms for major corporations including Comcast and Morgan Stanley. His direct investing activities and the corporate platforms he has designed have collectively invested in over 120 companies with diverse founders and have raised the bar for performance and outcomes across the industry. Some of his notable investments include Cuyana, AptDeco, Squire, Partpic (acquired by Amazon), and LiveNinja (acquired by IDT). Prior to his investing career, William spent over 10 years as a management consultant with Mercer Management Consulting (now Oliver Wyman), Thomson Reuters, AOL, and founded his own consulting firm serving the needs of large media companies. In a past professional life he was a software engineer designing networking and information solutions for large-scale distribution. He is a native of North Carolina and holds an MBA from Duke University, and degrees in Computer Science from North Carolina State University. William and his family currently reside in the Philadelphia area where they are investors in one incredibly high-growth Labrador Retriever.

Panels Climate Change, Data, Analytics, +AI Friday, March 5, 2pm - 3pm EST Climate change is manifesting in unpredictable and damaging ways, and the speed of change catches even residents of wealthy countries unprepared. Without preparation, damage to those living along the equator in poorer countries, may result in catastrophic damage more severe than residents have already endured. Recent, unexpected cold weather in Texas, interrupted crucial infrastructure providing residents heat and water. A series of seemingly independent faults combined to result in a failure of electricity, gas, and water systems in the state. The halt to basic infrastructure we take for granted, highlights the complicated problem of identifying and planning for climate change and its effects on systems people rely on. Understanding complex factors that will change how we live as a result of new, puzzling weather patterns requires sophisticated study of the data with application of AI. Our panel of researchers, technologists, and entrepreneurs examine tools and approaches to examining the problem and contemplate approaches to plan for the future. Sarah Stone, Executive Director, eScience Institute at the University of Washington, moderator Sarah Stone is the Executive Director of the University of Washington eScience Institute, where she also directs the UW Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) program which partners student fellows from across the country with project leads from academia, government, and the private sector to find data-driven solutions to pressing societal challenges.

    JULY 29-AUGUST 1, 2014 The Aspen Institute is an educational and policy studies organization based in Washington, DC. Its mission is to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues. The Institute has campuses in Aspen, Colorado, and on the Wye River on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It also maintains offices in New York City and has an international network of partners. For more information, visit www.aspeninstitute.org. The Aspen Global Leadership Network (AGLN) is a worldwide community of successful, high-integrity, entrepreneurial leaders, called Aspen Global Leadership Fellows. Because of their demonstrated leadership accomplishments and abilities, these Fellows have been selected to be part of one of 12 active or sector-specific Fellowships around the world. These Fellowships include or are modeled after the Aspen Institute’s flagship values-based leadership program, the Henry Crown Fellowship Program, launched in 1997. Fellows enter their program having demonstrated a great deal of personal success. They leave it inspired to make a greater mark on their communities and the world; to move, as we say, “from success to significance.” In between, they are provided with an intimate forum for deep introspection, probing dialogue, and interactive problem-solving. The Aspen Global Leadership Network is designed to spur these Fellows to stretch themselves — to take their leadership to greater heights and broaden their impact to include society at large. The Network connects Fellows through events like the Aspen Action Forum so that they can learn from, collaborate with, and support one another. The Aspen Global Leadership Network includes nearly 1,900 Fellows from 48 countries — and is growing.

  • Disclosure of Independent Expenditures in New York City
    Note: The Board approved rules for the disclosure of independent expenditures on March 15, 2012. FEBRUARY 2012 A Report of the Campaign Finance Board DISCLOSURENew York City OFCampaign INDEPENDENT Finance Board EXPENDITURES IN NEW YORK CITY ELECTIONS A REPORT OF THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE BOARD — EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Supreme Court’s controversial ruling in Citizens United didn’t create independent expenditures, but along with subsequent decisions it removed constraints on how they are funded, allowing corporations, unions, and wealthy individuals to expend unlimited sums in support of their favored candidates. In the two years since, groups formed to take advantage of this new landscape have fueled an exponential growth in independent spending in federal, state, and local elections. In New York City, a lack of disclosure has long kept the details of independent spending in City elections hidden from public view. A Charter amendment approved by the voters in November 2010 requires independent spenders to disclose information about their spending and fundraising. The New York City Campaign Finance Board is charged with bringing this information to the public. Independent Expenditures in a Post-Citizens United World (page 3) The presidential primaries have brought independent spending levels to new, previously unimaginable heights. Outside groups unaffiliated with political parties have spent more than $50 million on independent expenditures in the 2012 election so far, and more than half the advertising in early primary states has been conducted independently of the campaigns. As Stephen Colbert has demonstrated to hilarious effect, the rules governing these “independent” spenders at the federal level are so lax that spenders can essentially operate hand-in-hand with the candidates they support.

  • Legislation and Policy Upate
    I’m excited to send out our fall 2011 newsletter. At this time of year, campaign season is in full swing in City Hall, with highly contested races for Mayor, District Attorney and Sheriff dominating most of the dialogue. These races are extremely important to the future of San Francisco, and above all else, I hope everyone gets out there and votes on November 8th. While the Board of Supervisors was in recess during most of August, the months of July and September were extremely busy in City Hall. We’ve had a number of heated debates about healthcare and public financing (just to name a few), and my office has spent a ton of time working on events inside and outside City Hall – in particular the Marina Family Festival and my inaugural Fleet Week fundraiser at Fort Mason to benefit our public schools’ Safe Playgrounds Project. This winter promises to be very busy, with obvious interest in the November elections, and all of us in City Hall looking to squeeze in as much as possible before the end of the year. In addition, many of our great neighborhood organizations have held their annual meetings in the last few weeks, and it has been an honor to speak at these events and continue to meet new neighbors. In District 2, we are all very lucky to have a number of very active and well-informed neighborhood organizations with great leaders, and it is one of the best parts of my job as Supervisor to interact and work with these organizations on neighborhood issues.

  • Miss Representation
    IMPACT REPORT 2011 - 2019 A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER In my first film,Miss Representation, I wanted to reveal a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see – how the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls makes it difficult for women to feel powerful and achieve leadership positions. Released in 2011, Miss Representation exposed how mainstream media and culture contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in the U.S. While traveling the world with this film, I encountered many parents and educators who thanked me for making Miss Representation, but also asked, “What about our boys? Stereotypes hurt everyone, don’t they?” I studied the research and my second documentary was born. The Mask You Live In premiered in 2015 and explored how boys and young men struggle to navigate America’s narrow definition of masculinity. As I made The Mask You Live In, I realized that I needed to make another film about the harms of masculine values at a societal level. My third film in the trilogy,The Great American Lie, examines the profound impact at a societal level of prioritizing “masculine” values over “feminine” values on producing economic inequality. The Representation Project builds on the groundbreaking work of these three films by continuing to challenge limiting gender stereotypes in media and society. As with any cultural shift, change around gender norms begins with education. Our social media presence alone has reached 1.4 billion impressions worldwide, and our youth programs have trained thousands of young content creators to shift culture by producing socially just media content.
