2005 Gathering

The Gathering of Leaders owes its success in part to the incredible vision and dedication of our sponsors and supporters. Their commitment to fostering social entrepreneurship and their willingness to support the Gathering has been an inspiration, and has helped advance the Gathering's mission of removing the barriers to transformative change in America.
