"Bentley is committed to developing and celebrating leaders of tomorrow
and these young men and women all demonstrate what we're looking for in the
Tomorrow25: initiative, citizenship, intelligence, technological savvy,
cultural awareness and social responsibility," said Jeff Wright, chairman of
the Tomorrow25 committee at Bentley. "These students also have a passion for
the real world of people and organizations, and a commitment to making
positive things happen in their communities."
The Tomorrow25 program is an integral part of Bentley's new marketing
initiative, "Bentley: Business in a Whole New Light," which also features a
strategic partnership with TIME.
The 25 winners will be honored at the Leadership Forum on Wednesday, April
26. The event, held on the Bentley campus in Waltham, Mass., will bring
together leaders from the worlds of business, technology, global affairs and
arts and entertainment to explore the need for change and adaptation in an
increasingly complex and competitive global economy.
This year's Leadership Forum, the second in a series of annual forums
designed to spotlight critical issues in business ethics, leadership and
social responsibility across a variety of industries, will feature His
Excellency Noel Fahey, Ireland's Ambassador to the U.S., as the morning
keynote speaker, and Peter Weedfald, Samsung Electronics America's senior vice
president of Strategic Marketing and New Media as the lunch program keynote.
Panelists represent a preeminent group of organization leaders and will
share insights about their experiences in creating often dramatic change
within their organizations. Their stories will illuminate today's necessity
for continual change as technology and globalization shatter complacency and
elevate strategic competitiveness to a new art form. These leaders will show
how organizations can capitalize on the need for change, rather than be
victimized by it.
Moderators will include James Kelly, Managing Editor, TIME, and Bentley
Trustee Professor of Economics and Management Patricia Flynn, who will provide
insight into the complex, interrelated challenges that 21st Century businesses
face in their relationships with governments, global workforces, the
environment and local communities.
