Host a Brighter Future event

There are millions of organisations across the globe truly making the world a better place, and yours could well be one of them. Clive would like to celebrate your work with an audience of your choosing, at your headquarters or another venue. You host the event and invite your audience; together you deliver this agenda:

  1. Welcome, and why we're here (your host and leader)
  2. What is the brighter future you want to see? (live poll, facilitated by Clive)
  3. How to lead "beyond sustainability" (Clive)
  4. Celebrating the work of our host organisation (your host and leader)
  5. Who would you like to celebrate? (live poll)

Celebrating the work of charities

Maybe you would rather celebrate the work of your chosen charity at your book launch. That's absolutely fine. Or perhaps you are a charity and would like to host, or ask one of your sponsors or donors to host. That's fine too.

UNA Harrogate

Clive chairs his local branch of the United Nations Association. UNA Harrogate holds events in Harrogate and online. Members and non-members are very welcome to attend and to collaborate in the delivery of a brighter future.
