Strategies and Solutions
In January 2009, the summit, “A Call to Action,” was held to bring together men from diverse
social, political and economic backgrounds to develop a process to organize, plan and execute
initiatives that would reshape our community through strategic leadership, collaboration, and
collective empowerment. The summit purpose was to impact our community by focusing on
shared goals and common interest for the benefit of males in the community.
The outcomes of the 2009 summit included:
• Brainstorming and prioritizing what the participants saw as the primary issues with males
in the community
• Developing consensus around the top 4-8 issues
• Identified programs and services in the community that worked effectively with males
• Discussed, collectively where do we go from here and next steps
The 2011 Summit is a “Response and Commitment to the Call” for Males in Crisis: The value of
youth and men to our community.
This is a FREE event that is open to the public. The focus of this summit is to bring together
individuals, organizations and institutions from diverse social, political and economic
background to initiate a solution-oriented process that brings together individuals, groups,
organizations, and institutions that work with all males. We will also collectively share strategies
and solutions that impact the lives of males in our community.
