Creating A National Network
July 25th - 27th, 2003
The HistoryMakers National Planning Summit
will be held on July 25th thru July 27th, 2003 in Chicago. The
theme of this important meeting is "Creating A National
Network". This meeting has been in development for
two years and is being funded by a grant from the Chicago Community
Trust.
This will be a rare opportunity for The
HistoryMakers National Advisory Board, Board of Directors
and Scholar/Consultants to convene. This is a diverse group
of talented individuals with accomplishments in a variety of
corporate and not-for profit arenas, including media, technology,
history, education, archives, community, and more. We are bringing
them together from across the nation for two reasons. First,
we want to ensure that we properly communicate our mission,
progress, and plans. Second, we want to provide a forum
where we identify how our network will enable us to expand The
HistoryMakers in depth and in breadth across the nation. Some
funders and staff members will also attend. The two days
of sessions will include a tour of The HistoryMakersí
facilities, presentations and facilitated discussions. Larry
Levy, CEO of Levy Restaurants, has graciously agreed to host
a special dinner party for us in his four-star restaurant, Spiaggia.
The goal is to ensure the continued long-term success of The
HistoryMakers initiative.
