Mission to Motion: Civic Engagement

Are you passionate about our region and city, and about your ability to help create change, positive impact and a lasting legacy? If you’re a young professional looking for guidance and inspiration on how to merge your personal mission with your “9 to 5,” this event is for you. First launched in partnership with the Fierce Urgency of Now Festival in 2021, Mission to Motion makes space for early- and mid-career professionals from diverse communities and industries to engage in intimate discussions about how they can apply their mission and create positive motion.

In a panel discussion moderated by GBH “Morning Edition” co-host Paris Alston, leaders shaping civic engagement today will share how they merge their “day jobs” with their personal commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion to both quietly and loudly create forward motion for the Boston area and beyond. Panelists will include Michael J. Bobbitt, Executive Director, Mass Cultural Council; Rev. Willie Bodrick, II, Senior Pastor, Twelfth Baptist Church/President & CEO, The American City Coalition; Tiffany Chu, Chief of Staff, Office of Mayor Wu; Andrea Silbert, President, Eos Foundation; and Chrismaldi Vasquez-Casado, Director, Community Engagement, Point32health.

Created by The Castle Group in collaboration with our media partner GBH and hosted at MassChallenge, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with panelists, leaders, activists, and strategists over a catered lunch from Las Palmas Restaurant, thanks to our sponsor the Eos Foundation. This interactive event is limited to 40 attendees.
