2007 NCG Annual Meeting & Conference
	Transforming and Sustaining Our World Global Forces, Community Action
March 6, 2007 11:30am to 4:00pm Golden Gate Club The Presidio San Francisco, CA

What are the top trends impacting our world? How might these trends play out across and within our communities? How will they likely impact the philanthropic sector and cross-sector work in areas such as health, education, the environment, and social justice? What kind of initiatives can address these issues, locally and beyond?

Come hear one of the world’s pre-eminent futurists share the results of ongoing research into the major forces shaping society. His presentation will be followed by remarks from an inspiring community leader who is working to fulfill a positive vision of sustainability and vitality in her community, the South Bronx.

Keynote Speaker:
Peter Schwartz, Co-founder and Chairman,
Global Business Network
"Inevitable Surprises: Trends and Scenarios
to Inform Philanthropic Work"
An internationally acclaimed futurist and writer, Peter's passions include global sustainability and thoughtful allocation of natural, human and financial resources at all levels. Peter advocates for a creative, interdisciplinary approach to understanding, anticipating, and preparing for "inevitable surprises" through partnerships between government, business, foundations, and others.

Additional Speaker:
Majora Carter, Founder and Executive Director,
Sustainable South Bronx
"An Unfolding Positive Scenario: Transforming the South Bronx through a Cross-Sector Sustainability Focus."
