ABOUT FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The year 2020 was like no other, and we found ourselves pressing pause, pivoting, disconnecting, and disengaging. We spent time focused inward on our physical and mental health. Moving forward in 2021, we are coming up for air, and figuring out how we press play on our lives. The Food for Thought series continues in 2021 with its pursuit of three goals – to restart, revive, and reconnect.

The Food for Thought series features influential voices from various fields and the public is invited to directly engage in the conversation by submitting a question anonymously in advance of the event.
