The Dinkins Forum

Named for the first African American mayor of the nation's largest city, the David N. Dinkins Leadership & Public Policy Forum provides a vehicle for understanding the elements of successful and failing urban programs, policies and initiatives. For the past 17 years, this annual forum has addressed many pressing issues including education, the environment, labor, tourism, immigration and fiscal crises, and has featured such notables as US Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Kirsten Gillibrand, Vice President Al Gore, Rep. Charles Rangel, Mayors Ed Rendell, Michael Nutter and Michael Bloomberg, and labor leaders John Sweeney, Lillian Roberts, Randi Weingarten and Dennis Rivera. List of past speakers & topics >>
