Richard Reeves Keynote - Leave No Talent on the Table: Solving for the Gender Gap in Education

Description

From the organizer:

Richard Reeves is President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, an organization with a mission to raise awareness of the problems of boys and men and advocate for effective solutions. His 2022 book, Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It, was described as a "landmark" in The New York Times and named a book of the year by both The Economist and The New Yorker. He is a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, where he previously directed the Future of the Middle-Class Initiative and the Center on Children and Families.

This event is the result of shared leadership, commitment, and funding from a broad range of partners in Vermont’s philanthropic and post-secondary education communities. Our partners have worked together over the past year to make this evening possible and to support important conversations about the experiences of boys and young men in our state. 

Other speakers include Dan Smith, Joyce Judy, and Suresh Garimella.

This event was presented by the Richard E. and Deborah L. Tarrant Foundation, and The Vermont Community Foundation, more information is available at www.reevesvt24.org.
