In the summer of 2011, friends and business partners Nick Logothetis and Matthew Swift had an idea for convening thought leaders in the midst of the 10th anniversary of 9/11 to discuss the importance of partnerships in combating extremism. Since then, Concordia has grown towards a belief that P3s are a fundamental tool to addressing many societal challenges. Concordia recognizes that cross-sector collaboration offers effective solutions.
The Concordia Leadership Council is a powerful roster of former heads of state, leaders of industry, and policy experts with practical experience at every level of government and business. By offering strategic guidance, expanding the Concordia community, and advising programming, the Leadership Council contributes to all areas of the organization.
Concordia Advisors and Senior Advisors are a select group of experts who share updates on innovations in their fields, provide guidance in developing Concordia’s event agendas, and assist in building a network of key stakeholders across all programming and initiatives.
