社会创新 Initiatives

In addition to offering state-of-the-art global leadership tracks for students and working professionals, the Global Leadership Advancement Center (地理) is deeply involved with organizing and promoting social innovation programs that bring together community-minded leaders from industry, government, non-profit, and education.

Leadership Forum on 社会创新 (LFSI)

地理 and its community partners founded the LFSI in 2012. The Forum’s purpose is to convene cross-sector leaders to address local social and economic challenges, formulating and collaborating on innovative solutions. Attendees coalesced into The 硅谷创新 Leadership Network (SVSILN), an alliance of 200+ public, private, and non-profit community leaders focused on developing breakthrough solutions that address the community’s most pressing social needs.

“Learn, Connect, Collaborate!”

In the spirit of this catch-phrase, each forum provides a lively and engaging experience. We hold both large forums on the general topic of social innovation as well as our smaller, shorter Solution Discovery Series that targets specific issues. 我们欢迎 you to join us and become part of the solution!
