WHAT ATTENDEES SAY
“The Summit brings together an incredibly diverse and talented room of people — nonprofit trailblazers, funders, academics, and government employees — in genuine conversation. The limited size ensures real dialogue, and you leave with valuable connections across the country. I consider being invited a tremendous honor and privilege.”
— Jennifer Williams, General Counsel, Action for Boston Community Development
“It is a true balm in otherwise terrifying times. Every panel knocked it out of the park and shared information I didn’t know … always a good measure of a worthwhile gathering.”
— Betsy Rosenfeld, Strategic Advisor, H2HC (former Regional Health Administrator for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services)
“H2HC elevates voices that are too often left out of the conversation … including young people and students like us. It felt like a privilege to be in that room.”
— Sophia Bahad, student, Boston University School of Medicine
