11TH ANNUAL SUMMIT
LEADING BRAVELY: FINDING STRENGTH
IN DIVERSITY
BRAVERY n. the quality or state of having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear, or difficulty (Merriam-Webster) The history that brought us to a conference on leading bravely in the 21st century is a long and winding one. It is a history full of danger, fear and difficulty - from war and displacement to systemic poverty and violence. It is also a history full of people who have shown mental and moral strength against all odds. To transcend the potential for even more dangerous times ahead, we can learn from those who have exhibited - and continue to exhibit - unwavering bravery. Many of those people are among the GlobeMed network. Take Bella Chavez, for example. A senior in GlobeMed at Indiana University, Bella has stood up against police brutality and injustice toward the Latinx community since a member of her family was killed by the police in 2016. She grounds her work toward health equity in a systems lens, seeking to understand and transform the root causes of poverty and illness. Jane Ekayu and Shirley Seng, two GlobeMed partners and survivors of war, tap into their moral strength to empower and uplift other women facing dangerous and difficult situations. They use techniques as dynamic as art, community organizing, and healthcare delivery to ensure that Ugandan and Burmese women and children can live full, healthy lives. This weekend is about building relationships with and learning from people like Bella, Jane, and Shirley, of whom there are hundreds in attendance at the eleventh annual Summit. Each and every one of us has bravery within us, and examples of it all around us. To advance health equity in the 21st century, we must - and can - tap into the diversity of our experiences to garner mental and moral strength in ourselves and each other. In doing so, we can shift the status quo toward less danger, fear and difficulty, and more empathy, love, and courage.
In Solidarity, Alyssa Smaldino & the GlobeMed Team @GlobeMed

2017 Summit Theme Leading Bravely: Finding Strength in Diversity Humanity is approaching a critical tipping point. With public leaders polarizing issues and discontent rising from neighborhoods across the globe, our diverse global community could become more fragmented instead of more connected. Fear could prevail over love. Every day, however, GlobeMed provides a counterpoint to this possibility. Our commitment to working towards health equity is a vehicle to transcend fragmentation. Our network proves that it is possible to find strength in diversity. As we enter our second decade, we can become leaders who have the courage to bridge divides. We can be leaders who have the capacity to solve problems with individuals who hold opposing views. We can be leaders who advance health equity in our daily actions. This year’s Summit will create opportunities for delegates to tap into the relationships, values, and spirit of the GlobeMed network to help us lead bravely in the years ahead.
Leadership Tracks The 2017 Summit content will allow delegates to explore four approaches for engaging with complex challenges. Every leader has a combination of these approaches within us and around us. The question is: how do we bravely tap into each approach to advance equity? Build: Learn from leaders who build systems to tackle complex challenges. For example, data analysts use this approach to structure health care policy recommendations around data. Innovate: Learn from leaders who see possibility where others do not. For example, entrepreneurs use human-centered design methods to develop urban farming products for communities with low access to fresh foods. Awaken: Learn from leaders who use creative communication to express ideas. For example, social activists use this approach to produce media to shift public dialogue. Empower: Learn from leaders who organize our communities to advance human and civil rights. For example, community organizers use this approach to inspire individuals to take targeted actions that advance systemic change.
