Dear Jordan
Between now and the end of 2015 I am prepared to spend any amount of time searching out the most committed millennials and womens empowerment networks classified by practice area and region-one way of doing of collecting this collaborative networking data is attending a series of millennials goals summits and seeing where millennials netwrks emerge. Dlab and MIT100k being the 2 main boston events stages I have been attending regularly for a few years now
Ypchronic is unique as a medic millennials network, and I wish you all could design a mooc (piece by piece from maximum 9 minute khan-academy type presentations of actions you want viralised across a better health serving world)
Just yesterday inside the world bank we found that african womens millennials is their most energised social movement (the millennials involved need moral support as the much of the elder culture inside the world bank is extremely vicious at the moment after jim kim's recent reorganisation). 2 very od things converged yesterday; DC is in the middle of obama's week of giving back to africa with over 50 national leaders in town; the old african society with 2000 members inside the world bank happened to be chaired by a lady who wanted millennials to take over her society
From where I sit 2 urgent next actions would be:
1 organising a time when you all and naila can meet in boston
2 if ypchronic has one main millennials connector in DC knowing who that is so we can try and link whats emrging for millennials inside world bank with ypchronic
Of course if you have suggestions of most useful next steps please say
Two millennials groups I havent quite found the centre of gravity for yet are:
open learning campus
millennials supporters of BRAC (which is bangladesh' equivalent of PIH but also more as it is the schooling system that redeveloped rural and it has more cases of redesigning total value chains than any other single network). Mostofa and I were talking to sir fazle abed founder of brac 2 weeks ago; he's nearly 80 years old (and has the most valuable life experience of ending poverty of anyone alive); he doesnt quite understand why he needs brac millennials yet but does understand he needs brac open learning networks; ophira has experience of brac university which can be exciting to linkin next time she is over there; naila knows how to make higher level connections in almost all of these areas than I do; as does taddy blecher when it cones to changing education

Thank you, Elle.
My apologies for the delayed reply, I've just recently returned from a conference in Australia.
Dear Chris,
Thanks for your enthusiasm and support. It was wonderful to hear that you enjoyed our forum as well. Naila, it is nice to meet you! I am in Boston if you are visiting in the near future and have time to connect.
In terms of PIH members, at the moment I only know of a member we have that works for PIH in Malawi. However, it would be easy enough for me to find contacts at PIH in Boston if you are interested in connecting.
All the best,
Jordan

Dear Eddie and Jordan
Thank you for your mail - and what a wonderful network YP chronic is
40 years ago I was involved in student experiments with early digital learning network and my father at The Economist and I wrote a book on would the first net generation be the best of times or the worst of times ; in the same year my father published survey in The Economist would healthcare get 3 times more or less costly
when you review the missed opportunities timelined back in 1984 of peace, clean energy, community banking, you or are left with only millennials (particularly 25-35 year old postgrads and open education and thoes who have experimented the longest with life critical ,mobile apps can save us now), so for much of the last 7 years I have been researching those 3 types of networks and which leaders they trust and where can the connections be made more trustworthy and transparent
no application and learning network is more important than health- and yours together with alumni of paul farmer and jim kim are way ahead in knowledge and trust permissions though khan academy platform's 2nd main content now being on helatcare and the fact that my friend muhammad yunus wants to see a nearly free nursing college as one of his last great achievements out of dhaka need linking together as does whomever edits health content at next months opening of the world bank open learning campus
the person who has the best collaboration contacts in all these fields I know is naila chowdhury who worked with dr yunus for 15 years at grameen phone and now connects all the most urgent womens apps networks since she moved to Dc region 3 years ago
This month naila is fasting for ramadan but can be easily skyped or mobile phoned; sometime next month she is due a trip to boston; however if you have ideas on what could we all be connecting - should we eg go and talk more to james love who is dc based or how well do you know anthony so- naila has some fantastic contacts in geneva if he is doing his milennials medic retreat is happening again this year

naila contact points skype naila.h.chowdhury 2027773637
Thanks to Naila Chowdhury 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Naila's most active mobile leadership networks in Africa connect out of Kenya so very interesting too that is a focus of Jordan's experience

Dear Chris,
It was great to meet you at the YP event last week.
I’d like to connect you with Jordan Jarvis, the Executive Director of the Young Professionals group. Jordan is located in Boston and you mentioned you were interested to connect with PIH members in Boston. Hopefully Jordan will know if there are any PIH members in the YP group and if not, how we can share info with them.
Hope to see you soon at another YP event.
Sincerely,
Elle
