Inaugural Salesforce.org Nonprofit Summit Features Dr. Jane Goodall & Leslie Odom Jr.
On April 21, we’re bringing together our international Nonprofit Community for the first-ever Nonprofit Summit. The virtual Summit will feature everything you’ve come to know, love, and expect from a Salesforce.org event — a roster of incredible speakers, an inspiring community of changemakers, and educational breakout sessions with industry experts — all from the comfort of your own home.
Featuring Legendary Conservationist, Dr. Jane Goodall
It’s not everyday you have the opportunity to welcome Dr. Jane Goodall — the conservationist, humanitarian, and UN Messenger of Peace — into your home office for an intimate conversation about the importance of activism and why we should all be hopeful about the future.
We’re honored to have Dr. Goodall join us at Nonprofit Summit for The Power of Hope: A Conversation with Dr. Jane Goodall. This important conversation will center on our collective responsibility to care for the planet and curb climate change — something that Dr. Goodall believes is possible with hope as one of our most powerful resources for change.
Known for her landmark studies with Tanzania’s chimpanzees, Dr. Goodall is responsible for profoundly redefining the relationship between humans and animals worldwide. Through nearly 60 years of groundbreaking research, she’s not only demonstrated the urgent need to protect chimpanzees from extinction; she’s also redefined species conservation to include the needs of local people and the environment. And over the last three decades, she’s empowered a new generation of activists through Roots & Shoots.
A Show-Stopping Performance by Leslie Odom Jr.
If you were thinking that the only way to make this event even better was by somehow adding the Broadway musical hit, Hamilton, to the equation — you’re in for a treat. Tony and Grammy-award winner Leslie Odom Jr., best known for his breakout role as Aaron Burr in Hamilton, is bringing his soulful voice to our global mainstage.
Odom’s impressive career spans all performance genres: Broadway, television, film, and music. In his most recent big screen role, Odom plays legendary singer Sam Cooke in the film adaptation of the Olivier Award-nominated play, One Night in Miami. Between his recently-released second holiday album, his recurring Emmy-nominated role in the musical-comedy series Central Park, and the countless upcoming projects he has coming out, we’re honored to have the incredibly busy and super-talented Odom joining us at Nonprofit Summit.
The multifaceted award-winning artist and actor, Leslie Odom Jr., will perform at Nonprofit Summit.
