What Global Leadership Forum Inc does

Mission

The global leadership forum (glf) is designed to create, nurture and evolve a coalition of organizations whose collective missions will increase the number of competitive, diverse technologists in the talent pipeline who will lead the global marketplace. The forum will serve as a collective voice and unifying force amongst the participating organizations. The forum's participants will promote state-of-the-art programs that will produce workforce ready diverse talent from entry- to c-level positions in the public and private sectors and foster entrepreneurialism in technology. This will be accomplished by jointly and strategically focusing on improving the graduation rates in the stem disciplines, enhancing the soft skills and the leadership development skills and mastering the technology industry competencies.

As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
