From Housing to Disaster Recovery, Economic Development to Cultural Preservation, the Bryan Bell Metropolitan Leadership Forum takes a deep dive into the issues New Orleans faces and empowers the next generation of leaders to impact change.
Join a community of bold, inclusive leaders.
The Forum prepares emerging leaders with the context, knowledge, and networks they need to drive transformative change. Since 1968, the Committee for a Better New Orleans (CBNO) has convened and trained more than 2,500 leaders, who have gone on to hold public office at the local, state and federal levels; become thought leaders in New Orleans business, community, and advocacy organizations; and championed change in their communities.
This year, it is about equity.
40-50 leaders will be selected to join the conversation with experts from government, business, and advocacy organizations around some of New Orleans most critical questions, including:
