Keynote Speaker: Lisbeth B. (Lee) Schorr - Lisbeth B. Schorr is a lecturer in Social Medicine at Harvard University and Director of the Project on Effective Interventions. She founded and directs the Pathways mapping Initiative (PMI), to build a stronger knowledge base about "what works." Ms. Schorr has woven many strands of experience with social policy, education, and human service programs together to become a national authority on "what works" to improve the future of disadvantaged children and their families and neighborhoods. Her 1988 book, WITHIN OUR REACH, is in wide use in colleges and universities, and by policy makers, practitioners and advocates for more effective interventions. Her second book, COMMON PURPOSE published by Doubleday in 1997, explores the question of what it would take to assure that successful programs are built upon and expanded.

Santa Clara County Children's Summit Co-Chairs - The Honorable Leonard Edwards, former Presiding Judge Santa Clara County Juvenile Dependency Court and Dr. Fernando Mendoza, Chief, Division of General Pediatrics Stanford University School of Medicine.
