Weekend Renewing America’s Promise welcomes our corporate strategic partners.  WRAP will work with you to customize a partnership that to the greatest extent possible allows you to access all promotional material opportunities given the level of sponsorship. 

WRAP Sponsorship offers a unique opportunity to advance your cross constituency marketplace efforts.  Not only will you reach businesses owned by under represented constituencies, you will benefit from global branding and market penetration.

WRAP is a nonpartisan leadership development convening, held in different key geographic regions, where exceptional and dynamic leaders (and their families) from diverse fields connect and share ideas and explore possible synergies. 

Participants over the years have included participation from CitiGroup, Cisco, AT&T, TYCO International, Price Waterhouse Cooppers, UBS, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, General Mills, BOA and a number of others.  Examples of those participating include Charles Phillips (President, Oracle), Lydia Mallett (VP for Diversity Tyco International), (Dawn Smalls (Hilary Clinton’s NY Political Director), John Jefferson (AT&T), Julian Bond (Chairman Emeritus of NAACP), Roslyn McCallister Brock (new Chairman of NAACP), Kendrick Ashton (Steve Forbes’ Chief of Staff, Partner Perella Weinberg Partners) , Alvin Patrick (Executive Producer, ABC’s Nightline) Beverley Guy-Sheftal of Spellman College, , Gregg Walker (SVP- SonyUSA) Earl Fowles (Black Gay Prides), Brad Sears (Williams Institute), Cleve Jones (Founder of the AIDS Quilt Project), Stephen Hildebrand (Deputy Campaign Manager, Barack Obama Campaign), Mitchell Gold (Faith in America), Jonathan Capehart (Pulitzer Prize winning journalist), Charlene Hunter-Gault (Pulitzer Prize winning journalist), Henry Louis Gates (Harvard Professor and Public Intellectual), Lisa Cortes (Executive Producer of Academy Award winning Precious) and Bruce Cohen (Academy Award winning Producer/Director of American Beauty and MILK; Producer The Oscars).

America (and the World) faces a turning point - economically, politically, and socially around conservation, diversity and inclusion. One key question is whether we will build on this opportunity to fulfill America’s Promise and creating a More Perfect Union, and respect and care globally for our natural resources?

WRAP provides leaders with the tools to find areas for cross pollination.  Leadership is not effective when it is fragmented and disengaged from broader conversations, or resistant to building broad and nontraditional alliances. For example, progressives cannot afford to look at corporations as simple obstacles to civil and LGBT rights rather than as potential engines for civil and LGBT rights victories. WRAP will discuss the “diversity revolution” and explore the extent to which it is a Public Relations one versus a substantive revolution. 

Inherent in WRAP’s philosophy is the belief that socially responsible corporations are indeed engaged in substantive progressive work. We will discuss the perfect storm of legal imperatives in the United States (ranging from Title VII, ADA, ADEA lawsuits to Executive Order 11246) and market imperatives (the war for talent, the war for underserved markets and globalization) going on right now, that is not being fully leveraged stakeholders because of various silos.



WRAP WELCOMES OUR STRATEGIC PARTNERS AND CORPORATE SPONSORS OF OUR RETRAINING RETREATS.

WRAP is a nonpartisan leadership development convening, held in different key geographic regions, where exceptional and dynamic leaders (and their families) from diverse fields connect and share ideas and explore possible synergies. 

WRAP engages corporate executives, public policy makers, nonprofit and thought leaders, academics and philanthropists with widely divergent interests, backgrounds and views.  This leadership retreat creates an important environment where dynamic discussions, debates and conversations are fostered and where participants’ reflections transcend ideologies, politics, economics and religion – and local geography.
