Los Angeles, April, 2009
The Clinton Foundation Millennium Network has been launched in Southern California!
On April 30 in Los Angeles, more than 600 leaders and philanthropists gathered at the Roosevelt Hotel to prove once again that our generation is redefining leadership, philanthropy, and global engagement. Jessica Alba and Adrian Grenier introduced President Clinton in front of a packed room of L.A.’s most influential professionals. President Clinton asked the crowd to become the "How Generation," and answer the great questions of our time: How can we leave a positive impact on the next generation? How can we make individual changes in our lives to make a large difference in the world?
Through the Millennium Network, you can be involved in the Clinton Foundation's approaches to many of these "how" questions, from helping 2 million people living with HIV/AIDS gain access to treatment, to working with the world's largest cities to fight climate change.
The night was capped by a rousing performance by Grammy Award winner will.i.am.
