POSNER CENTER SYMPOSIUM 2020. THE INAUGURAL POSNER CENTER SYMPOSIUM WAS HELD IN EARLY 2019, CONVENING GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT LEADERS, PRACTITIONERS, RESEARCHERS, ACADEMICS, AND SUPPORTERS TO SHARE KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCES, AND LESSONS LEARNED TO IMPROVE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT WORK AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE EVIDENCE BASE OF BEST PRACTICES IN COLLABORATIVE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT. THE SUCCESS OF THE FIRST SYMPOSIUM REFLECTED THE ENTHUSIASM AND INNOVATION OF THE POSNER CENTER COMMUNITY AND THE RIGOR OF ITS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE. FOR THE SECOND POSNER CENTER SYMPOSIUM IN FEBRUARY 2020, AN EVEN LARGER COMMUNITY OF LEADERS AND PRACTITIONERS, AND ACADEMICS WAS CONVENED. WITH ATTENDEES FROM SEATTLE, CALIFORNIA, WASHINGTON D.C., AND MEXICO MIXED WITH THE POSNER CENTER AND COLORADO COMMUNITIES, THERE WERE TWO DAYS OF COLLECTIVE ENERGY, INSIGHTFUL DIALOGUES, AND LOTS OF "BIG & BAD" IDEAS IN COLLABORATIVE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT.
