EMAIL DETAILS

Hunter --

The good folks at Milken met with a few of us last week and asked if you would be interested in being a panelist at this year's conference in LA, which takes place April 26-29. They would like to send you a formal invite but I first asked if they could share some details about who, what, where and when. You'll see those below. Rick has also been asked to attend and will likely take part in one of their private panels on a food/hunger-related topic.

We would be so grateful for your participation, as this is a fantastic forum for us to connect to prospective companies and thought leaders who can make a real difference in our fundraising and partnership efforts. We also know how busy you are so we completely understand if the timing doesn't work!

I've included more details below on the panel, it's timing and focus but Rick and I would be happy to discuss more by phone if you'd like.

Best,
Erin

Creating Stronger Partnerships for Global Food Security


The global population will reach 9 billion by 2050, an increase that will exacerbate shortfalls in food production and distribution. A new spirit of collaboration is needed among scientists, business and governments to reduce hunger and avoid the geopolitical consequences created by food shortages. Agriculture, water, energy, infrastructure, and industry all are critical components of food security. Yet too often, experts in each sector work in isolation. Stronger partnerships that combine resources and expertise are necessary to attract investment and develop the technologies needed to improve the global food supply. This panel will discuss examples of successful partnerships. Panelists will highlight best practices for joining forces across sectors and disciplines to create a food-secure future.
