Keynote Speakers
Dr. Michael McAfee is President of PolicyLink and the Co-Director of the Promise Neighborhoods Institute at PolicyLink. He has spent more than 20 years serving as a results-driven leader in the government, philanthropic, and human-service sectors. He has partnered with community leaders to build 3,000 units of affordable housing, create 5,000 jobs, and provide hundreds of thousands of children and their families with the educational and community supports they need to thrive.
Most recently, he played a leadership role in investing $1 billion dollars in neighborhoods across America in order to transform them into communities of opportunity for children and their families. This ground-breaking work resulted in the Promise Neighborhoods program becoming a permanent federal program through the 2015 authorization of the Every Student Succeeds Act. An avid practitioner of Bikram Yoga and an off-road hiking, Dr. McAfee is on a journey to build a legacy grounded in equity – just and fair inclusion into a society in which all are fully participating, prospering and reaching their full potential.
