Reflecting on the Impactful Africa Policy Forum: A Vision for the 21st Century
As we navigate through the new waves of the 21st century, it’s crucial to look back and learn from significant events that have shaped our world. One such event was the Africa Policy Forum, hosted by the Leon H. Sullivan Foundation back in 2010, which served as a significant platform for dialogue and collaboration between African leaders and their American counterparts. This forum, guided by the vision of Civil Rights Icon Ambassador Andrew Young and the Leon H. Sullivan Foundation, was a milestone in fostering mutual understanding and promoting opportunities for growth and development. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit this monumental event.
The Africa Policy Forum: A Vision for the 21st Century
The Africa Policy Forum was held in Atlanta, Georgia from September 24-28, 2010. The event represented the largest gathering of African Presidents and Heads of State in recent memory, providing a platform for dialogue with the American President and CEOs looking to do business in Africa.
Highlights of the Conference
The conference was packed with exciting activities including an African Ancestry Reveal announcement, a women’s luncheon, and forums featuring several African Presidents and Heads of State and Obama Administration members. Additionally, it featured live cultural events, a film festival showcasing top films from Africa, and a formal announcement on the dates and location for the 2011 Leon H. Sullivan Summit on the African continent.
Legacy of the Africa Policy Forum
The legacy of the forum continues to resonate in the industry even today, inspiring new dialogues and collaborations. Inspired by the principles of the late Rev. Dr. Leon H. Sullivan, the Foundation bearing his name continues to promote political, entrepreneurial, and intellectual leadership of the African Diaspora and friends of Africa. It advocates on behalf of Africa and the world’s vulnerable people and promotes corporate social responsibility and economic development on the African Continent.
Through events like the Africa Policy Forum, we can learn and grow together, fostering unity and mutual understanding in our diverse world. Join us as we continue to explore the impactful events that shape our global community.
