Global Summit XVI sponsorship

Support the JES's mission of fostering dialogue for the Erie region on a global level.

We are pleased to present to you the  speaker lineup for the Jefferson Educational Society’s 16th Annual Global Summit. Our goal is to ensure that each year the Summit builds on past Global Summits' success. This is especially the case as we host this year’s Global Summit. Last year we hit record numbers; not only was it our largest summit, but we also made a record number of registrations!

This year we will learn about a variety of topics ranging from politics, sports, history, technology, and social issues. For example, we will hear from former U.S. Representative Liz Cheney, ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith, historian Heather Cox Richardson, public intellectual Eddie Glaude Jr., and Lincoln historian, Harold Holzer. They are just some of those who will be in Erie from October 17 through November 15 as part of our 16th Annual Global Summit. 

It is because of the generous support of civic-minded citizens like you that we can continue our mission of fostering dialogue for the Erie region on a global level. We hope that you will help us celebrate our 16th year and the ambitious growth of the Global Summit to a truly regional affair as we extend our outreach to the surrounding regions of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh by showing your support this year.

The Generous Leader is an essential guide for those learning to become the leaders of tomorrow—ones who lead with empathy, openness, and heart. Connecting with people generously will not only help you grow as a leader and a person; it will help you grow your business.

Successful leadership demands a connection with people, a willingness to look beyond self-interest, and a commitment to leading with the heart. Through seven insightful principles, readers are encouraged to embrace vulnerability, authenticity, and generosity as they navigate the complexities of modern leadership. By sharing personal stories and practical strategies, the book demonstrates how acts of communication, listening, inclusion, allyship, and acknowledgment can foster meaningful connections, drive organizational success, and ultimately contribute to positive societal change. 

There is no more powerful leader than a generous leader.
