Unbound: Retraining the American Workforce
Cheryl Strauss Einhorn, Arthur Bilger, Allen Blue, Shernaz Daver, Ellen Hughes-Cromwick, Jamie Merisotis, Rick Newman, Nan Morrison, Joel Garrison, Bill Gates
A panel of experts analyzed the failure of traditional supply-driven workforce models to address the needs of nearly two million super-underemployed Americans amid rapid industrial automation. They highlighted successful localized interventions, such as LinkedIn's Skillful pilot and Southern New Hampshire University's competency-based partnerships, which align training with immediate employer hiring needs rather than lagging behind economic shifts. The discussion concluded that solving these systemic inequities requires a multi-actor ecosystem of employers, educators, and government officials to replace ineffective policies like Universal Basic Income with targeted, networked support systems.

Getting from Financial Inclusion and Literacy to Financial Health
Daniel Gorfine, Louis Beryl, Kari Dohn Decker, Nan Morrison, Jerry Patterson, Jennifer Tescher
Industry leaders and policymakers convened to redefine financial progress from mere access to holistic "financial health," emphasizing that resilience requires both institutional products and behavioral support. While fintech innovations like automated savings tools and transparent lending platforms have demonstrated success in reducing costs and defaults, speakers agreed that traditional financial literacy education is insufficient without early, habitual curriculum integration and behavioral design nudges. The discussion concluded with urgent policy recommendations to standardize retirement portability, mandate national financial standards, and establish a federal framework akin to public health to close the generational gap in financial capability.
