_ TechnoServe Conducts Leadership Seminar in Mozambique |
|||||||||
|
TechnoServe's mission is to build businesses that will create economic growth in Africa and Latin America and produce widespread benefits, particularly for the rural poor. At the same time, TechnoServe has held a series of conferences and seminars to encourage business, political and social leaders in developing countries to play an active role in promoting economic development that is equitable. "The Executive Seminar in Mozambique," which is being held December 4-7, 2001, is the latest in this series. TechnoServe's Seminar draws heavily on The Executive Seminar of The Aspen Institute, a world-renowned institution that promotes "values-based" leadership around the globe. Twenty prominent Mozambicans and South Africans are participating in the three-day event, which is being held on Bazaruto, an island off the southeast coast of Mozambique. Through reading and discussing selections from the works of classic and modern writers -- including Aristotle, Kant, Milton Friedman and Julius Nyerere - it is hoped that these leaders will deepen their understanding of what constitutes "a good society" and renew their resolve to help create one in their own countries. Keith Berwick and Peter A. Reiling are leading the Executive Seminar in Mozambique. Mr. Berwick is a Senior Fellow of The Aspen Institute and Executive Director of the Institute's Henry Crown Fellowship Program, an advanced leadership development program for high-achieving young executives and professionals. Mr. Reiling is TechnoServe's President and CEO, and was named a Henry Crown Fellow at The Aspen Institute in 1998. |
