Three powerful voices. One important conversation. One shared commitment to stronger families.
As we count down to the USAPHO Foundation Women’s Month Breakfast – The First Circle: Where Strong Families Begin, we are honoured to bring together three exceptional leaders exploring how strong families shape stronger communities and a stronger South Africa.
Dr Shirley Zinn
“Building from the Inside Out: How Strong Families Shape Ethical Leaders and Thriving Societies”
Professor Vivienne Lawack
“The Economics of Care: Why Strong Families are South Africa’s Most Undervalued Asset”
Dr Benadette Aineamani, PhD
“Learning Begins at Home: How Strong Families Shape Lifelong Learners, Ethical Leaders and Thriving Communities”
Together, they will bring perspectives spanning leadership, governance, economics, education and social impact to one important conversation: What becomes possible when we invest in families before crisis begins?
