Dr. Manuel Pastor, Jr., University of California, Santa Cruz

Collaborating for Justice:  A Different Kind of Leadership


Opening Keynote Address
Wednesday, August 2
5:00pm - 6:15pm

Dr. Manuel Pastor, Jr., professor of Latin American and Latino Studies and Co-Director of the Center for Justice, Tolerance, and Community at the University of California, Santa Cruz, delivered an insightful keynote address that reflected on the new demographics, new economics, and new inequalities emerging in California and what these trends foretell for the rest of the United States.

No question, nonprofits now require new capacities to adjust to changing demographics.  As capacity builders, how can we help the nonprofit sector get beyond coping strategies and move ahead into a leadership role in how our society embraces multiculturalism?  This keynote addressed new forms of leadership and collaborative structures that will be needed for nonprofits to work for justice, opportunity, and social cohesion in a rapidly changing environment.
