At our 2017 Summit, we heard that in America today, corporations are among the most powerful drivers of social and cultural change. Similarly, entrepreneur John Battelle has written that increasingly businesses are how our society works through its most pressing questions. In this session, Battelle will join Dean Carter, Vice President of Human Resources at Patagonia, and David Simas, CEO of the Obama Foundation, for a conversation about how brands can successfully take stands and how to equip the next generation of engaged citizens: your employees.
