Presidents' Summit for America's Future - 28 years later

In April 1997 representatives from 50 cities and every state gathered in Philadelphia for the Presidents' Summit for America's Future.

I was one of the 10 people representing Chicago and the Tutor/Mentor Connection (1993-present) was one of 50 "Teaching Example" organizations who was invited to have an information booth at the Summit.

With help from our Public Relations partner, Public Communications, Inc., we created a video to share.  Sadly we had limited funds for distribution so I doubt that many people ever saw it.

I embedded the video in this 2023 article. 

And, I wrote about the Summit in this 2017 article. 

I also wrote about the Summit in this 2007 article.

I hope you'll take a look and share the ideas with leaders in your community. Sadly, persistent poverty is still embedded in many cities, states and reservations across America.
