Job Creation Just One Focus for CGI 2011
“Jobs, jobs, jobs.” That was the message President William J. Clinton took to the airwaves with on Sunday morning to preview the agenda of the 2011 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) annual meeting which kicks-off on Tuesday. Yet again, CGI has attracted a stellar line-up of participants, who will spend the next three days formulating plans to address global unemployment, putting forward ideas to drive more sustainable consumption and continuing to focus on unleashing the potential of girls and women in places where they remain excluded or marginalized.

The Numbers Steal the Show
Yes, there was Ashton and Demi. Ben Stiller made us laugh. The President and First Lady inspired us. But what really blew me away was that CGI closed yesterday with astounding metrics of impact and change. Since CGI’s inception, it has been about demonstrating progress and making lasting impact. Though it is sometimes lost in [...]

Gearing Up For “UN Week” And The Clinton Global Initiative
New Yorkers grudgingly refer to the third week of September as “UN Week,” when world leaders descend on the city for the opening session of the UN General Assembly, creating gridlocked streets across Manhattan in the wake of their motorcades. Over the past six years, however, it’s the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) that has anchored [...]
