Hello Friend, 
 
Hope you’re all gearing up for a lovely Holiday and we are reaching out with a quick update on our efforts:

Post-Summit Debrief: If anyone was unable to attend the global call on 20 November organised by ImpactAlpha to share insights and commitments from the Summit, you can listen to the free podcast here (click on what appears to be a video to listen).

Summit Videos, Photos, and More: Videos from the Summit are now posted on our website, along with a new page that shares recent media coverage. We’ve already shared the links for poems and graphic recordings and encourage you to enjoy them all. We are preparing a final report summarising Summit outcomes, commitments, and survey and interview results; you can expect that early in the new year.

Future Summits: As announced in London, we are committed to producing a side event at Women Deliver in Vancouver on 4 June, 2019 and encourage you to join us there. We are also exploring the possibility of a Q4 regional summit in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Stay tuned for updates and please contact Summit Co-Producer Darian Rodriguez Heyman at darian@darianheyman.com if you are interested in sponsorship or grant opportunities.

Duke Gender-Smart Intensive: Summit Co-Producer Suzanne Biegel and Cathy Clark of CASE i3 at Duke University, will lead an intensive course 11-13 March, 2019 in Durham, North Carolina. Getting Gender Smart is designed to help investors, foundations, and advisors get hands-on experience with emerging frameworks for integrating gender smart investing into overall investing practice. Register by 31 December for discounted pricing and use the “GENDER200” for further discounts.

Systems Map Article: Medium just published a great article by Suzanne on the Gender Finance Ecosystem Map, launched at the Summit. Take a look to see where you fit into the landscape and what leverage points merit your focus.

 
Happy Holidays to one and all, and thanks for everything you do to build a better world!

In Community,
