Program Officer

The Lemelson Foundation

Join us for an evening of ideas, inspiration, and connection. Together, we’ll examine how the combined power of education and people fuels invention and entrepreneurship, driving inclusive innovation and building communities that can adapt and thrive in the face of change.

This evening is designed to forge bold ideas and lasting relationships, bringing together educators, innovators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders committed to shaping your inventive and inclusive future nationally and in your home region. 

This panel will highlight why education is more than preparation for the future—it is the spark that ignites opportunity, economic growth, and shared prosperity.
