Today at the Clinton School

Not much on tap today in state government. The governor will be returning from the NGA winter meeting, and there are no legislative meetings at the Capitol. Here locally, the Texarkana Arkansas Education Foundation will hold an appreciation luncheon at the Cattleman's at noon.

Goldman Sachs Foundation President Stephanie Bell-Rose will discuss the most important trends in philanthropy today at the Clinton School (Sturgis Hall at noon). A Harvard alum, Bell-Rose will focus on how young people are changing the global giving landscape. The Goldman Sachs Foundation was funded in 1999 with a $200 million donation from The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Prior to her appointment at Goldman Sachs, Ms. Bell-Rose served as Counsel and Program Officer for Public Affairs at The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation where she directed legal affairs and designed philanthropic initiatives in education and public policy in the US and abroad.
