\nperformed similar role at the 2015 event which gathered over 3, 000
\nleaders from 40 countries and was broadcast and livestreamed
\ninternationally.<\/p>\n

The letter of invitation jointly signed by Amb. Andrew Young,
\nOperation Hope Global spokesman, Honourable Kasim Reed, Mayor of
\nAtlanta and John Hope Bryant, Operation Hope chief executive, urged
\nthe former President to lend his support to an entrepreneurship
\nmentoring programme, by sharing his experience in office with a wider
\nglobal audience.<\/p>\n

\nNigeria and abroad, we are personally requesting your attendance. It
\nis important for us that your influential voice and perspective be
\nincluded as we drive a global conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nvision.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the theme \u2018Reimagining the Global Economy: Inclusive Economics\u2019,
\nthe Annual Meeting is set against the backdrop of the Martin Luther
\nKing Holiday weekend and gathers leaders from government, community
\nand the private sector to outline a vision for the modern global;
\neconomy. A vision where the undeserved, working poor and struggling
\nmiddle class are viewed as untapped assets for economic growth,
\nentrepreneurship and job creation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe powerful history of Atlanta as the \u2018Cradle of the Civil Rights
\nMovement\u2019 serves as a catalyst for our gathering, highlighting the
\nunfinished work of economic self-reliance launched by Dr. King prior
\nto his death. We will honour that legacy with a series of activities
\nfor our guests, including \u2018white glove\u2019 viewing of Dr. King\u2019s papers.<\/p>\n
