Insights from inclusive growth leaders, in their own words
“So, here is my on-going challenge to business leaders, foundation leaders, and non-profit leaders across our country: Think about what more you can do to remove barriers to opportunity within your own businesses and organizations. To make those businesses and organizations as inclusive as they are strong. And then, please do it.”
Kamala Harris
Vice President of the United States of America
“It’s not so much poverty or adversity that breaks people’s spirits. It’s the feeling of being frozen, getting up every day, looking in the mirror and believing that every tomorrow is going to be just like yesterday, no matter what you do.”

42nd President of the United States, Founder and Board Chair, The Clinton Foundation
“Every good-paying job going forward is digital, is data, is tech. And so everybody deserves to participate and that means having broadband.”
