For over six decades, the Johnson Foundation has gathered leaders from all walks of life for meaningful, robust, and civil discussions on important issues. Our unique convening model ensures that our conferences inspire solutions with sustained impact. We engage at each stage in this process, steadily advancing the issue along the value chain toward results.

A collective action plan is created with accountable and measurable goals.
The action plan is implemented, and progress is closely tracked.
