Recap of Ignite Social Impact Summit and NAN Convention 2024
Hello LEVELUP in NYC Family!
Last week was a movie for networking in NYC 🎥. We attended one of the best conferences in the city—the Ignite Social Impact Summit at Columbia University where our Founder moderated a panel. While there we ran into Insider Malika Christopher.

We also attended the National Action Network Convention where powerhouse speakers talked about ways to strengthen the black community. Speakers and honorees included major figures like Black billionaire Robert Smith, Stacey Abrams, Whoopi Goldberg and many others! President Biden even delivered a virtual speech to all attendees! It was a powerful event.

📸 NETWORKING EVENT RECAP
Insider Recaps: Share Your Networking Story
The Ignite Social Impact Summit sparked such enlightening discussions. I particularly enjoyed sessions like "Legacy Builders: Fostering Generational Wealth in Black and Brown Communities through Social Entrepreneurship" and the closing remarks from Stephen Benjamin, Senior Advisor to the President, who offered valuable insights on public service and maintaining integrity in your values.
As a nonprofit leader and community connector, I emphasize the importance of ongoing learning, resource sharing, and building social capital. Subscribe to LEVELUP in NYC to receive weekly networking opportunity. Let's continue to grow and make a positive impact together!
