GLI
Building on our foundation to strengthen the
leadership potential of individuals working to create a
healthy future for our children, we launch The Global
Leadership Initiative (GLI). The GLI is an umbrella
effort that will champion innovation to ensure our children
have access to the resources and opportunities they need to
Finish Strong! This fall we launch the Global Leadership
Fellows Program, The Henkel Global Leadership Conference and
The Global Leadership Community Initiative. These are in
addition to our flagship event, the Abbott Nutrition
RazorFest which we envision serving as a template for
replication in other sports venues.

The GLI Fellows Program is an intensive, one-year program designed to assist leaders in reaching a wider market with proven health and wellness programs for children and families. During their one-year fellowship, GLI Fellows strengthen their existing programs and develop the skills, connections and insights they need to lead major change efforts. They will participate in a dynamic learning community comprised of innovative nonprofit, academic, corporate and government leaders engaged and committed to working for transformative impact for children. This powerful learning community will serve as both catalyst and support during this intensive experience. As well, participants will receive the individual coaching, mentoring and support they need to address individual learning needs. Participants will:
During the 12 months, partners go through an in depth assessment and discovery process, learning about their personal and organizational leadership strengths and opportunities for growth. The first week will be spent in Bentonville, Arkansas, collaborating with each other, learning with seasoned professionals and engaging in dynamic learning communities with fortune 500 global corporate leaders recognized for innovation. Learning from global corporate leaders, this forum will focus on preparing for market success. There is a reason we host this in Bentonville, Arkansas, home of Walmart. There is much to learn from and with this global company and their community of corporate partners. This week will be a powerful one that creates the foundation for the rest of the year. Champions for Kids will manage and run The Global Leadership Initiative with support team members in Boston, New York, London and Washington D.C.

The Henkel Global Leadership Conference: Helping Kids Finish Strong, October 26 & 27 in Northwest Arkansas will launch our national effort to inspire and support leaders in developing state and local collaborative efforts to create a more healthy future for children in America and beyond.
This conference will be limited to 350 people
and will involve senior level leaders from the following
sectors: education, nonprofit, corporate, faith-based, high
school and university students and government leaders. This conference, ultimately, is about driving action—not reflection. Participants will be challenged to find ways to connect and drive meaningful change for and with our youth. Forums will feature X-changes between the nonprofit and for profit sectors, including our youth, to best learn about challenges and opportunities for growth. Forums will end with groups challenged to present innovative ideas to drive conversations from learning to action. For more information please contact Champions for Kids at 479-582-2008. |
