turning ideas into action

Most of you have probably heard of the Clinton Global Iniative, an organization Bill Clinton began in 2005 to "turn ideas into action." The organizations brings together leaders, innovators, scholars and others to tackle the worlds social problems.

What I recently learned about was CGIU, Clinton Global Initiative University. Leveraging CGI's successful model, CGIU brings together the next generation of leaders and inspires them to not just talk about the world's challenges, but to take action as well. This past weekend was their yearly conference, which included a fascinating panel moderated by Chelsea Clinton on the future for women and girls and concluded with a conversation between Bill Clinton and Stephen Colbert. Not bad huh? Clicking on the picture below will take you to an excerpt from that conversation.
