ALIA in a Day - Change for Good - What Does It Really Take?

What happens when inspired optimism meets the tough realities of real change? How do we work with forces that ignore, resist, or fear change—even within ourselves? What lessons are we learning at the forefront of innovation in business and society?

Join 300 engaged entrepreneurs, leaders, and social innovators from Ohio and around the world as we explore these questions, share our experience, and hear success stories from pioneers in business and society.

• See complex challenges through lenses of leadership, community, strategy, and mindfulness in sessions led by Darcy Winslow (Nike, Designs for a Sustainable World Collective), Peter Block (author, Community: the Structure of Belonging), James Gimian (publisher, Shambhala Sun magazine and www.mindful.org), and Tim Ryan (Congressman, Northeast Ohio, and mindfulness advocate).

• Join two 45-minute break-out sessions that feature an innovation-in-progress in education, healthcare, community, business, or government.

• Expand your thinking with artists Thomas Arthur, Steve Clorfeine, and Lanny Harrison.

• Make new connections during a dynamic, informative, and mind-opening day facilitated by Tim Merry and Tuesday Ryan-Hart.
