New York, New York; June 10, 2015<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group, Inc.), the world\u2019s leading platform for professional learning, today announced its partnership with the\u00a0Social Innovation Summit 2015<\/a>, taking place June 10 and 11 at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. GLG Social Impact Director Jen Field will moderate a panel, Expertise in the Social Sector: The Essential Ingredient for Scale and Innovation, convening representatives from government, the financial services industry, and the nonprofit sector to discuss the role expertise plays in driving innovation and creating social change.<\/p>\n

The Summit follows GLG CEO Alexander Saint-Amand\u2019s recent op-ed\u00a0Four Learning Principles for the Social Sector<\/a>\u201d published online by the Stanford Social Innovation Review. In it Saint-Amand explains that nonprofits and social enterprises \u201cdemand creative solutions\u201d to unique learning challenges, ranging from professional development infrastructure to prioritizing learning despite limited resources. He concludes, \u201cwhen social innovators engage expertise and operationalize insight, they can find transformational solutions.\u201d Saint-Amand drew these lessons from the first year of GLG\u2019s\u00a0Social Impact Fellowship<\/a>\u00a0as well as the company\u2019s previous and ongoing work with other nonprofits, impact funds, and foundations.<\/p>\n

The GLG Social Impact Fellowship gives curious and ambitious nonprofit and social enterprise leaders access to peer-to-peer learning from GLG\u2019s membership of 400,000 experts and thought leaders. Fellows join GLG\u2019s community of leading investors, entrepreneurs, corporations and consulting firms, who learn every day from academics, current and former C-suite executives, scientists, policy specialists, former public sector leaders and other professionals. Fellows and their teams work collaboratively with GLG to leverage the breadth and depth of GLG\u2019s membership to inform strategic decisions and increase impact.<\/p>\n

The inaugural 2014 Fellows (listed\u00a0here<\/a>) were chosen from a diverse group of leading early-stage and emerging nonprofits and social enterprises. Their organizations tackle a range of social challenges around the world \u2013 from community health and entrepreneurship to extreme poverty in Africa and disaster response in the U.S. Applications are now open for the 2015 Fellowship (available at\u00a0glgsocialimpact.com\/application<\/a>).<\/p>\n
