Program host Chris Meek is pleased to sit down with Sylvie Légère Ricketts on this week’s episode of Next Steps Forward to discuss the philanthropist’s passion for leveraging technology to provide solutions to unite and inspire individuals and for advancing future generations of changemakers, particularly those that are female. A staunch believer in the power of public policy’s impact on daily life, Sylvie is the co-founder and chairman of The Policy Circle, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization which seeks to inform, inspire and develop women into thoughtful civic leaders. Not only will she discuss how the organization works to drive fact-based conversation, promote personal responsibility and increase civic engagement but she will also highlight another area that is of particular interest to her: how technology can transform the lives of others. Sylvie has seen firsthand the power of utilizing technology as means to communicate and educate others and will speak to the importance of encouraging teachers to push students into STEM programs from an early age. Continuously curious about the ways in which technology can enhance our lives, Sylvie will influence the audience to exercise their own curiosity and to open their eyes further to how much better life is made by technology.
