Speaking & Convenings
Dr. Dawn has a passion for engaging with challenging ideas—synthesizing concepts across theological, economic, and philosophical ways of thinking. She is as comfortable speaking to a Corporate Board as she is to an auditorium of scholars.
From keynotes to fireside chats to panel discussions, her most satisfying conversations are often with those who never even dreamed these ideas might have relevance to them.
