ISO Development Series Presents: "Revolutionaries and Champions: Critical Ingredients to Ending Global Poverty"

Sam Daley-Harris is the founder of RESULTS, an international citizens' lobbying organization focused on generating the political will to end global poverty and founder of the Microcredit Summit Campaign which seeks to reach 175 million of the world's poorest families with microcredit by the end of 2015. In his presentation, Daley-Harris will describe development revolutionaries and rule-breakers like Grameen Bank founder and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus and Jamii Bora founder Ingrid Munro, individuals who have broken the rules of banking, international development, and of microfinance in order to accomplish what others assumed to be impossible. He will also posit that these rule-breakers are in need of champions in Congress, in the media, in communities and on college campuses if these breakthroughs are to spread widely and rapidly.
