On February 19, 2015, Urban Institute president Sarah Rosen Wartell moderated a conversation with two of our country’s most innovative leaders. Shaun Donovan, director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Judith Rodin, president of The Rockefeller Foundation and author of The Resilience Dividend: Being Strong in a World Where Things Go Wrong discussed what it means to build resilient communities, the role of philanthropy in partnering with public leaders, and how disasters hit vulnerable populations first. For a summary of this event, please visit our blog.

We would like to thank the National Building Museum for its generous support in providing The Auditorium as the venue for the event.  For inquiries regarding this event, please contact [email protected].
