in our schools and workplaces, in faith settings,
and neighborhood gathering places, we can work
together to ensure every person experiences
economic inclusion, meaningful opportunities,
and connected pathways to realize their fullest
potential for flourishing.
• Today as every day, those of us with leadership
roles in philanthropy, health care, business,
community development, and the civic sphere are
given the power to ensure that our organizational
practices, the public policies we support, and the
way we use capital (natural, economic, social)
supports human well-being, and the vitality of
the living Earth of which we are a part, and on
which we wholly depend.
Thirty-five years ago, inspired by leaders in health,
the arts, civic and faith life, and community
development, I began my professional journey to
create healthy communities as gardens to grow
people in. It is deeply painful to witness so many
in our nation suffer so profoundly, and US lifespans
begin to shorten. At the same time, it is heartening
to see promising innovations in clinical care, digital
tech, community development, policy advocacy,
and civic engagement.
