Welcome to the Human Services Summit Community of Practice

Welcome to the Leadership for a Networked World Community of Practice for the Human Services Summit!

The mission of Leadership for a Networked World is to help leaders activate innovations and realize transformations that generate capacity and sustainable public value.

As part of this mission, we convene annual summits on the campus of Harvard University and globally for leaders to address and create solutions for the world’s most pressing public challenges. Attendees and affiliates of the summits have asked for a community of practice that helps them stay connected with people they’ve met at the summits, find other leaders that are innovating, learn about best practices, share information and tools, and sustain their transformation efforts.

We’ve worked with alumni of the summits to bring forward this community. This is not another generic social network, but rather a community that uses social-media tools to conduct real work, share actionable best practices and forge ongoing professional connections for human services officials.

We look forward to working with you as part of the Community!
