The Fund for the City of New York is proud to share that our President, Dr. Lisette Nieves, will participate in Big Picture Learning’s 2026 Big Bang Conference as part of the keynote conversation, “Our Voices, Our Future,” presented in partnership with YELLOW.
The keynote will bring together leaders from education, media, civic engagement, and youth leadership to explore how history, identity, and shared experiences shape the future. Through an intergenerational dialogue, panelists will examine the role of storytelling, public engagement, and leadership in strengthening communities.
At the Fund, we believe that bringing people together to exchange ideas is essential to effective public leadership. The themes at the heart of this discussion, community, civic participation, and learning across generations, closely reflect our mission and the work we do every day.
We congratulate Big Picture Learning and YELLOW for convening this important conversation and are proud to see Dr. Nieves representing the Fund alongside such an accomplished group of speakers.
