The inaugural AmbitioUS Convening brings together the people and enterprises that have been supported or are currently under consideration for support, as well as CCI staff, Allies, partners, funders of, and grantmakers interested in, AmbitioUS. We believe that working as an ecosystem can enhance all of our work. Participants will share their projects, motivations, achievements, goals, and hurdles. We will hear from trailblazers of alternative economic systems who are hoping to learn about additional models and expand their knowledge of values-aligned network.
