David N. Dinkins was named for the 106th Mayor of the nation’s largest city, the first (and only) African American Mayor elected in New York City.
The David N. Dinkins Leadership & Public Policy Forum provides a vehicle for analysis, focus, and dialogue around the dynamic elements of urban policies, programs, and initiatives.
For over 20 years, this annual forum has addressed many of the challenging issues that successful urban ecosystems must contend with — including education, the environment, labor, tourism, incarceration, and fiscal crises.
In April 2019, Professor Dinkins will welcome Maria Hinojosa to deliver Keynote remarks. Maria Hinojosa will join the Forum’s legacy of keynoters that includes notables such as Former US Attorney General Eric Holder, Congress member John Lewis, Former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Vice President Al Gore, Harlem ex-Congress member Charles Rangel, Mayors Ed Rendell, Michael Bloomberg and Bill de Blasio, and labor leaders like John Sweeney, Lillian Roberts, Randi Weingarten and Dennis Rivera.
