RECLAIMING DEMOCRACY: INTERMEDIARIES, LOCAL EDUCATION FUNDS & PUBLIC EDUCATION
This year, Public Education Network celebrates 20 years of achievement by
local education funds — intermediary organizations that have made a difference in the lives of millions of children by supporting and advancing quality public education in communities across the country. Throughout American history, intermediary organizations have been instrumental in shaping, defining, and building our democracy, and in building connections between citizens and the public institutions that serve them. Join educators, community leaders, and policymakers at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington, DC — November 9-11, 2003 — for an exploration of the history, role, and practices of intermediary organizations and their relationship to democracy and to public education.
Expand your understanding of intermediaries and their role in American society and build your knowledge, skills, and capacity to work with and for intermediary organizations. Keynote speakers include: Susan Berresford, president, Ford Foundation and Lester Salamon, founding director & principal research scientist, Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies.
