From Problems to Solutions: NBEC’s Leadership Conversations

At this gathering, NBEC convened leaders across sectors—law enforcement, mayors, private industry, and education—to confront the challenges of poverty, public safety, and economic growth. The message was clear: we don’t need more PhDs in problems, we need PhDs in solutions. Through honest dialogue and practical steps, NBEC is charting a path where education fuels opportunity, alumni reinvest in their communities, and leadership rises to meet the moment.
