December 7th and 8th, 2022
The Goalmakers annual conference is the premier event for global development practitioners, funders, companies, and partners on the West Coast.
The Covid pandemic forced global development organizations to examine our work, our internal structures, and our value proposition. Many organizations pivoted to respond to the pandemic and adapted their programs. As the world recovers from the past two years of disruption, organizations are building better, stronger models of partnership rather than going back to the way things were.
We are at a moment in time to make great strides in advancing equity, health, and well-being. Now is the time to come together as a community to problem-solve, create partnerships, and correct power imbalances. Now is the perfect time to learn from crises, evolve, and co-create new solutions.
Global Washington will convene “Goalmakers” whose work is critical to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Goalmakers are those who are singularly focused on building a more equitable, healthy, and prosperous world for everyone.
